As related to building construction, a journeyman's license, earned by a combination of education, supervised experience, and examination, is required in many areas for those employed as intermediate level mechanics in certain trades (e.g., plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work).
The benefit of being a card carrying journeyman (licenced) is you tend to have a stronger knowledge base in the field (understanding of code regulations etc) and that usually equates to higher salary and more opportunity for advancement to postions of supervisor, leadman or foreman.
