Abstract
This article aims to investigate the methodology and results of rapid certification models, with an emphasis on the SkillBridge system, evaluating their ability to provide industry-recognized technical certifications and bridge skills gaps in emerging technology areas. The method adopted consists of a systematic literature review covering studies published between 2021 and 2026 in major academic databases. The results demonstrate that technical certifications, such as those offered by recognized entities, generate significant wage premiums, ranging from twelve to seventeen percent, and substantially increase employability rates. Furthermore, structured transition programs, especially for military personnel, show high success rates in entering critical technology careers. It is concluded that rapid certification models represent an effective and essential strategy for contemporary workforce development.
