by jbs072710 e3 — July 30, 2010—Outsourcing professionals working at every career level from entry-level to C-suite positions can now gain professional certifications through several new families of certifications unveiled July 22 by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP).
IAOP has expanded its certification and professional development programs in response to increased market demands for professional certifications in the outsourcing industry from both individuals, outsourcing companies and governments.
Professionals gaining certifications typically receive higher recognition and compensation while companies can expect consistent, higher-quality results by working with these certified individuals.
Through IAOP’s Outsourcing Professional Certification Framework (OPCF), the association’s certification program has been expanded from the original Certified Outsourcing Professional (COP) designation for outsourcing professionals.
A new Associate Certified Outsourcing Professional (aCOP) has been added in the COP family as well as new certification families for executives and specialists working at customer, provider and advisor organizations.
