Europe - Staffing Industry Analysts’ Certified Contingent Workforce Professional Programme Launches in Europe

31 July 2015

In response to growing market demand, Staffing Industry Analysts today announced the expansion of its Certified Contingent Workforce Professional (CCWP) accreditation programme into Europe. The newly expanded programme, now offered in the U.S. and Europe, is the only one of its kind to provide definitive standards in contingent workforce programme management. The inaugural European class will be held on 8th and 9th October in London.

CCWP certification ensures contingent workforce professionals have the required knowledge and skills needed to implement effective strategies in managing and elevating a contingent workforce management programme. Participants that take the two-day class have an opportunity to take a test to become certified. The class is intended for members of the contingent workforce ecosystem including HR and procurement professionals, workforce solution provider staff and anyone involved in supplying contingent workforce programmes. To date, almost 700 people have participated in the programme in the U.S. and close to 400 have completed the certification process.

“Demand for the CCWP accreditation programme is growing substantially across Europe,” said Bryan Peña, Staffing Industry Analysts’ vice president of contingent workforce strategies and research. “With content and industry-leading tools tailored specifically for contingent workforce programme managers in Europe, this class will ensure that our European-based customers have access to unparalleled knowledge and expertise, offer an opportunity to build relevant and practical skills, and enable them to accelerate their careers.”

Taught by contingent workforce experts, the two-day class consists of nine learning modules and participants are led through a series of intensive lectures, training exercises, quizzes and real-world scenarios. The modules cover topics including programme management data, risks, cost and quality, staffing partner performance, contracts, and programme strategies and adoption.
