What It Means to Be a Certified Workforce Development Professional

Certified Workforce Development Professionals (CWDPs) are recognized leaders in the field; individuals who have demonstrated advanced knowledge, ethical standards, and a commitment to helping people and communities thrive.

Through NAWDP’s nationally recognized CWDP program, workforce professionals earn certification by demonstrating proficiency across five key competency areas:

  • Customer service methodology
  • Diversity in workforce development
  • Labor market information and intelligence
  • Principles of communication
  • Workforce development structure, policies, and programs

Earning a CWDP shows employers, partners, and peers that you are dedicated to professional excellence and continuous improvement within the workforce system.
