YOU’VE GOT A STABLE OF LOYAL CLIENTS AND A PORTFOLIO THAT
REFLECTS YOUR EXPERTISE AND TALENT, BUT ARE THESE ENOUGH
TO SHOW PROSPECTS AND PEERS THAT YOU ARE THE BEST
PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS PROFESSIONAL YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE?
Industry professionals looking to add another feather to their cap will often
turn to professional development and certification.
By many accounts, certification is a valuable means by which
professionals in dozens of industries can set themselves apart and gain
a strategic or sometimes financial advantage in the workplace. A recent
survey conducted by
Certification Magazine
revealed nearly half of all
respondents—48.2 percent—believe certification helps them improve or
confirm their qualifications for the job they currently hold. And nearly 35
percent of respondents say they pursue certification to show they’re qualified
to take on more responsibility at work.
