Stronger Credentials Equal Better Employment Opportunities

Measurement That's Meaningful

Build Candidate Confidence

IC³ Will Help You

Basic computer and Internet skills have become prerequisites for virtually every employment opportunity. While many of the job seekers you advise may recognize this fact, how can you determine how well they utilize technology? How do you help them become better prepared? How do you confidently benchmark their skill levels?

Some people are great at word processing for example, 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.

Stronger credentials equal better employment opportunities

In a competitive marketplace, helping job candidates differentiate themselves from the competition is one key to employment success. IC³ helps you assist job seekers 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

When job seekers' resumes include the IC³ credential, employers are assured that these applicants have the knowledge and skills needed to be effective in their assignments.

Measurement that's meaningful

Many job applicants have been exposed to computers in one way or another, and as such claim to be knowledgeable about computers. While they may be able to perform some tasks, how can you adequately determine their true computing knowledge and skills? With IC³, you accurately and confidently measure computing competence to ensure a globally recognized level of computer literacy. Rather than relying on an applicant's own assertion, IC³ validates job seekers' computing knowledge and skills by:

Providing a global, standardized, and unbiased computing measurement criteria

Testing in both knowledge and performance-based methods

Demonstrating proof of an applicant's computer literacy

Build candidate confidence

Job seekers today realize that an increasing number of jobs require basic computer use and competency—yet their inexperience and fears continue to severely limit the jobs for which they ware qualified to apply. IC³ provides the training necessary to help job seekers overcome their fears by:

Receiving training on a dynamic digital literacy standard

Obtaining a computer-industry recognized certification that builds personal satisfaction by having made such an accomplishment

Increasing their willingness to experiment with new technology applications

Once job seekers have attained their IC³ certification, they're more confident—and more likely to continue increasing their knowledge and skills throughout their careers.
