"Social media has become an important place to showcase skills and knowledge to colleagues, businesses, and potential contacts in your network. I'm thrilled that our partici-pants can now announce the qualifications they've earned through completing SCAA Profes-sional Certificates right alongside (or instead of) traditional educational accomplishments. Workplace education and development is an undeniable asset that our participants have put in considerable effort to earn and this recognition contributes in adding to that value."
