Occupational Licensing Boards

Occupational Licensing Boards are government or regulatory bodies responsible for certifying and overseeing professionals in various fields, such as doctors, contractors, or real estate agents. They set standards for education, training, and conduct to ensure practitioners are qualified and perform safely and ethically. By granting licenses, these boards help protect the public from unqualified or unethical practitioners, maintain industry standards, and often enforce disciplinary actions when necessary. Essentially, they serve as gatekeepers to ensure professionals are competent and trustworthy in their respective fields.
