As the industry grows, employers need to be able to hire people who have been taught the skills they need on the job. Top quality training providers distinguish themselves by achieving an IREC credential and, through this process, demonstrate that the results of their training bring value to students, employers and the market. To the hiring manager and to the worker, IREC credentials matter and can be leveraged to bolster successful hiring practices.
