SkillPointe Introduces LicensePointe to Simplify License and Certification Requirements in Skilled Careers

Fremont, CA: SkillPointe introduces LicensePointe, a one-of-a-kind solution to assist in the simplification of complex occupational licensing and certification rules associated with skilled vocations in many jurisdictions and industries.

Most extremely desirable career opportunities in Healthcare, Education, Construction, Manufacturing, and other rising industries require a state license or certification until a job seeker can resume work in their state. However, still many states have their own set of education or experience requirements, exams, fees, and application forms, making the career exploration and job search process stressful for new job searchers and career changers.

"Licenses and certifications are often required in many high-paying skilled occupations, but even if they are not mandatory, we see huge benefits in getting licensed or certified," said James Franchi, SkillPointe CEO. "Unemployment rates are much lower for licensed professionals, and their salaries are higher as well. Licenses and certifications are a must-have for successful growth in skilled careers."

LicensePointe provides much-needed clarity in a complex world of state requirements. This one-of-a-kind search and comparison tool is the result of a significant study into state licenses and certificates, including information gathered from public data sources and local licensing board websites. SkillPointe makes it simple to determine what is necessary to begin working in a career in any state. Visitors to the site may simply learn more about all that is necessary and link straight to the local licensing application to get started quickly.

SkillPointe is the largest online platform for job searchers and students interested in non-college degree-required jobs. The rapidly expanding platform offers free self-assessment equipment, career insights, a learning search engine, occupational licensing information, one-of-a-kind scholarship programs, and local job openings in eight fast-growing industries: construction, healthcare, information technology, transportation, energy, manufacturing, communications, and public service.
