Central to the TALENT approach is providing customers the ability to articulate, or showcase, their skills. By creating artifacts that meet industry requirements, learners can more effectively signal their job readiness to employers.

CERTIFICATION ALIGNMENT
Wherever possible, TALENT’s skills and courses are purpose-built to align with industry certifications, preparing customers for the next step in their development process.
