Recruit, Then Place People with the Skills for Success

Build Your Reputation with Clients

Enhance Your Testing Services

IC³ Will Help You

Basic computer and Internet skills have become candidate prerequisites for virtually every placement opportunity. Once placed, the technology competency level of those you recommend directly reflects on your business and your reputation.

So how do you determine how well candidates can utilize technology? How do you confidently benchmark their skill levels? Some candidates are great at word processing, but lose files because they don't understand basic file management. Others confidently surf the Web, but have no idea what "networks" are, or how they work.

We can no longer assume that people have basic computer skills simply because of their increased exposure to computers. The fact remains—exposure does not equal understanding.

As the world's first global certification for computer and Internet literacy, IC³ solves these problems by providing you with an integrated program that trains and validates candidates' computing knowledge and skills as they prepare to meet the demands of a digital society. IC³ incorporates training to educate and prepare job seekers with broad, contextual knowledge and practical skills. Then, IC³ helps them excel in a wired world by certifying their knowledge through globally recognized certification testing. Their success elevates your worth in the minds of your clients.

Recruit, then place people with the skills for success

By recruiting IC³ certified candidates, you become recognized as a leader in attracting individuals with key computer skills. By accepting IC³ certificate holders, you benefit by:

Having your company information distributed to each IC³ certification holder via the IC³ Certification Packet

Becoming involved in IC³-related workforce development and educational programs, providing new avenues of outreach in the communities you serve

Using IC³ partner messaging in your recruitment advertising

By including your company in the IC³ Certification Packet and on the IC³ website, Certiport provides you with recruitment leads—at no cost—by informing those who achieve certification that you are actively looking to place IC³ certification holders. Through these and other recruitment efforts, IC³ provides a stream of uniquely skilled candidates that give you a competitive advantage in the staffing marketplace.

Build your reputation with clients

In a competitive marketplace, differentiating your clients from competitors' is one key to successful placement. IC³ helps you offer unique individuals who are:

Certified as skilled and knowledgeable in a broad range of technology—from computer hardware and software, to operating systems, applications, and the Internet

Motivated enough about their career advancement to seek certification that validates their knowledge and skills

Competent with the "soft skills" required for effective use of computer technology

With IC³, your clients are confident their hires have the knowledge and skills needed to be effective in their assignments.

Enhance your testing services

You may already have successful testing and training programs in place. Rather than replacing you current testing programs, IC³ greatly enhances your ability to leverage them by:

Increasing the efficiency of your testing programs by providing candidates already certified on a broad range of computer skills

Freeing your in-office testing resources to test or train candidates for more advanced computer skills in specific applications—thus, further increasing their value

Freeing time for other skills or personality testing

Staffing firms that implement their own testing programs agree—testing is too time consuming. By utilizing IC³, you benefit from increased efficiency and effectiveness in current testing programs while increasing candidate skills.

IC³ will help you

Take advantage of IC³'s global certification standard for computing knowledge and skills. Provide your clients with uniquely talented, motivated candidates with maximum performance potential on the job.

Whether you simply use IC³ to recruit and place the best job candidates, or if you want to implement IC³ testing as an additional revenue source, IC³ offers many ways to increase your opportunities for success.
