If we had an agreed upon credentialing system with a unified standardized test series, under a non-profit consortium, like engineers, doctors, lawyers, actuaries, etc. we might get somewhere. But that's a huge hill to climb, and it's debatable what if any technology specific content should be included.

I don't think most jobs actually depend on formal testing: there are a lot of people doing science and engineering work that aren't duly-accredited "Professional Engineers" and, of course, there are many other fields that also don't have accreditation.
