How does KOSSA support career readiness?

KOSSA supports career readiness primarily by providing certifications that validate skills to employers. These certifications are essential as they serve as official acknowledgment of a student's competencies in specific areas. Having these credentials can significantly enhance a student's employability by demonstrating to potential employers that they possess the necessary skills and knowledge relevant to their field.

Certifications can often set candidates apart in a competitive job market, as they provide tangible proof of a student's abilities rather than just theoretical knowledge. This validation helps employers feel more confident in a candidate's capabilities, which can lead to better job opportunities and potentially higher salaries.

While internships, job placement opportunities, and workshops on resume writing all contribute positively to career readiness, the direct validation of skills through certifications is usually seen as a critical factor in helping students secure employment in their desired fields.
