In an ideal workplace scenario, those persons working in one occupation which have some crossover skills will be able to leverage each additional certification/credential to build an upward career progression (stackable credentials). The same analysis was done for the Heavy and Special Trade Construction industry sector using a similar employment-weighted industry distribution. While seemingly very different, both of these sectors have administrative and managerial occupations in which incumbent workers could benefit from specific certifications including project management, technical sales or customer service skills.
