Yes, this is what the National Career Readiness Certificate is for. You can list it on job applications, too. It says you are ready to go into a job and start training right away. I've found that a lot of employers weren't sure what it was, exactly, but there are supposed to be over three hundred employers in my local area who recognize it. The ones who don't know what it is seem to be fairly impressed by the name and my gold star.
