Accreditation Program Expands to Include Leading Provider of Software Solutions for Managing the Flexible Workforce
Mountain View, Calif. – March 10, 2015 - Staffing Industry Analysts, the global advisor on contingent work, today announced that Beeline, a global leader of software solutions for managing the extended workforce, has joined Staffing Industry Analysts’ Certified Contingent Workforce Professional (CCWP) program as a partner. CCWP is an accreditation program designed for HR professionals, procurement specialists, MSP solution providers and others who manage corporate contingent staffing. The program provides certification and training in contingent workforce management best practices
“Beeline’s solid reputation and global expertise, along with their success in delivering innovative solutions, makes them an ideal addition to our CCWP partner program,” said Bryan Peña, vice president of contingent workforce strategies and research at Staffing Industry Analysts. “CCWP continues to gain momentum and we’ve received tremendous industry-wide accolades from those who have gone through the program. We are thrilled to have Beeline associated with the program as our newest CCWP partner.”
More than 600 people have taken the CCWP program management class and over 300 are certified. A training-only participation option was recently added to the program, which uses the same content and materials as certification, but does not require a certification exam. The class is built around an intensive curriculum that presents best practices and concepts in contingent workforce program management and consists of nine modules. Each module focuses on a specific program management subject and addresses real-world scenarios. Instructors use a variety of lectures, training exercises and activities. The CCWP program includes both in-person and online class options.
“Our team is very excited about partnering with Staffing Industry Analysts on their CCWP program” said Colleen Tiner, senior vice president at Beeline. “Companies value their growing contingent talent as a strategic resource, so it’s critical to have established management standards across the industry. CCWP not only allows managers to validate their expertise and learn best practices, it also enables them to do their jobs better and enhance their careers.”
Beeline’s role as a CCWP partner will be focused on providing contingent workforce program management “best practice” expertise in the continued evolution and development of the CCWP certification program. Additionally, Beeline will further share its contingent workforce program management expertise in the delivery and facilitation of the CCWP Program.
Six in-person classes are scheduled in various locations around the U.S. in 2015. The next in-person certification and training class will be held March 17-18 in Orlando, FL. For more information visit: www.staffingindustry.com/certification.
