For candidates:

• Increased chances of finding employment. Skill Certificates constitute additional assets in seeking employment since they are recognised by the FOREM (Public Service for Employment and Training in the Walloon region) and Actiris (Public Employment Service in the Brussels Region).
• Facilitated access to vocational training programmes. Thanks to Skill Certificates, an individual can increase the value of  their skills with training providers, better outline a career and, where applicable, streamline the training programme required due to exemptions.
• Official recognition of their experience.
• Bolstering professional identity and self-confidence.

 For business:

Recognition of skills can be seen as an innovative Human Resource Management tool, and a new alternative to:

• Reduce uncertainty when recruiting both externally and internally;
• Motivate and value employees;
• Support internal development;
• Improve the image of professionalism portrayed by the company;
• Perpetuate expertise;
• Rationalise training pathways.
