"There are over a million credentials – from certifications to bootcamps to professional courses. The overwhelming volume makes it hard to know which options will actually move your career forward—and which are unlikely to pay off. That’s why the Burning Glass Institute built the Credential Value Index (CVI)—a first-of-its-kind index and navigation tool that sheds light on the real-world outcomes of virtually every certification in America, as well as more than 20,000 other non-degree credentials."
