Many use cases involve the relationship between educational occupational credentials and jobs or occupations:

• Industry and occupation analysis and Job vacancy involve searching for credentials that address critical jobs.
• Career and education goal involves searching for credentials that best meet their career goals
• Labor market value involves searching to find credentials that meet career goals and have employer recognition
• Job seeking involves finding jobs that match the credentials a person posses
• Compare credentials involves finding the career value / labor market value of a credential

Proposal

Schema.org has a type for JobPosting and has in draft a proposal for Occupation; these both have the properties educationRequirements "Educational background needed for the position or Occupation," and qualifications "Specific qualifications required for this role." Extending the range of these properties to include Educational Occupational Credential would allow searchers to find those Job postings and Occupations that require a certain credential. Other properties of Job Posting or Occupation, such as estimatedSalary, baseSalary, jobLocation, occupationalCategory etc. would then allow the analysis required.
