No matter where employment opportunities take you, validating your training, credentials, and skills will be a necessary process throughout your career. Start with building a secure repository for all your primary source transcripts, credentials, and career documentation. When you’re ready to make a move—to a new school, new country, or new job—make verification quick, secure, and easy.
Whether you’re looking for work in your country or another country, you’ll need to understand the process for meeting regulatory compliance and professional licensure requirements. You might need additional training or formal education. You may need to brush up on your language proficiency skills. Or you might benefit from additional certifications to demonstrate your clinical competency. We can guide you through the right steps and requirements.
The entry-to-practice requirements for nurses and healthcare workers vary greatly from country to country and region to region (or state to state). Make sure you study the credentials verification/evaluation, language proficiency, academic assessment, and employment history requirements that are specific to the country and region/state where you are applying for employment or academic admission.
From graduation through retirement, your career trajectory will be shaped by continuing education and professional development. We can point you to job readiness and career advancement resources that will enable you to stay at the forefront of healthcare delivery and care model evolution. Whether you need to prepare for a job interview or earn CEUs for recertification, we can connect you.
