United States
SALT LAKE CITY (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) August 8, 2008 --
Certiport today announced a strategic staffing partnership with Kelly
Services, a worldwide leader in human resource solutions, to provide for
the placement of candidates who have proven their skills through
Certiport Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC³®),
Microsoft® Office Specialist, Microsoft
Certified Application Specialist and Adobe®
Certified Associate certification programs.
“In an ever increasing effort to better serve
our customers and the workforce, Kelly Services is pleased to help match
certified job candidates with the needs expressed by our customers for
outstanding employees,” said Jonathan Means,
Kelly's senior vice president and general manager of central operations
and businesses. “We recognize the value of
validated skills acquired through rigorous learning and certification
processes provided by Certiport worldwide. We are proud to be a launch
partner with Certiport beginning initially through our U.S. Central
Operations and Businesses Division.”
“The fit was natural,”
said David Saedi, president and CEO of Certiport. “Both
organizations are founded in the belief that a solid foundation that
puts the individual first and on a pathway of continuous learning and
improvement is the bedrock upon which all other components of the
business can be built. This mission connects Certiport that trains,
validates and certifies individuals with marketable skills, to Kelly
Services that helps these candidates be placed in meaningful jobs. It is
a partnership that supports the development of the knowledge and skills
aimed at creating a more competitive workforce.”
