This article was written in 2011 by AlejandroDaJ, an employee of the U.S. Department of Labor. (See note at the bottom of this document.)

At the moment, it cites only DOL documents and is virtually unchanged from the original submission. Much of the language in the article is promotional in nature, especially in the "Program benefits and requirements" section. - SummerPhD^v2.0 17:43, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The case where someone is trying to use capitalization to indicate some kind of "officialness" or special meaning or certified job title is a common controversy around here, and it is not hard to find examples of article titles that use such capitalizations. But I think there is basically no support for that in the Wikipedia policies and guidelines, at least unless it can be shown that a term is consistently capitalized in independent reliable sources. Declarations by authorities, such as governments or certifying institutions, are usually not persuasive. Ngram evidence shows the lowercase term is more common. Examples of sources that do not capitalize this term (outside of headlines, which tend to be "title-capped" in many sources) include this and this. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:37, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Support per MOS:SIGNIFCAPS, MOS:JOBTITLES, MOS:CAPS more generally and evidence by nom. I see no good reason why this should be capped. Cinderella157 (talk) 03:28, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Support per MOS:JOBTITLES and MOS:SIGCAPS. This is a great example of capitalization for signification.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  07:02, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
