Created by one of the premier staffing agencies in the U.S., Career Preparedness Certification and Business Office Technology Certification puts students on the path to success

LUBBOCK, Texas (April 19, 2016) - To thrive in today’s competitive workplace and postsecondary environments, students must learn and retain core technology and business skills. No longer a "nice to have," employers and higher education providers expect these skills. To that end, iCEV will host Express Employment Professionals' industry certifications on the iCEV testing platform. 

The Career Preparedness Certification verifies individuals possess the skills necessary to discover, pursue and successfully achieve career goals. The certification exam addresses major topics, including higher learning, the job-seeking process, financial literacy, workplace etiquette and the Microsoft® Office Suite. 

The Business Office Technology Certification verified individuals have acquired the technical computer skills necessary to be competitive in today's modern workplace.  To earn the certification, individuals must demonstrate in-depth knowledge of common workplace technology and processes, including computers, operating systems and networking, telecommunications, business documents, Web and business ethics, and the Microsoft® Office Suite. 

"Mapping out a career path, finding job openings and landing a quality job can be an overwhelming process," said Bob Funk, CEO and Founder of Express Employment Professionals. "We want to empower the next generation to make knowledgeable decisions about education and careers, and this partnership with iCEV is a powerful stepping stone in helping students discover and achieve their career goals."
