The CCWP training program will be held Tuesday, August 19 and Wednesday, August 20, 2014 at the HYATT house in Atlanta, Georgia.

The first certification course of its kind available to HR, procurement and staffing professionals who manage contingent labor, the CCWP program was designed to assess and enhance participants’ knowledge of contingent workforce management practices and strategies and validate mastery of this area. Available to those in the talent acquisition field, the course is built around an intensive curriculum on key strategies for effective contingent workforce program management. Upon completion of the pioneering CCWP certification program, individuals will understand how to develop a contingent workforce program modeled after industry best practices and gain the insight necessary to help shape contingent workforce strategies into successful practices at their organizations.

Since the program’s inception, Randstad Sourceright has served as an original charter partner, leveraging its extensive experience in helping clients develop effective contingent workforce strategies to provide best practices and thought leadership to enhance the quality of the program. In addition, Randstad Sourceright assisted SIA with the creation and refinement of CCWP course content and delivered subject matter expertise.

“With the number of contingent workers on the rise, we partnered with SIA to help develop a comprehensive CCWP curriculum that provides the insight and strategies necessary to implement effective contingent workforce programs that meet today’s talent goals,” said Randstad Sourceright president of Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Contingent Workforce Solutions, Teresa Creech. “Randstad Sourceright is proud to continue sharing our global talent expertise through this training program and excited to help advance the practice overall.”

The CCWP program consists of nine key contingent workforce program management modules presented over a period of two days. In addition to the in-person courses, there is also an online class that follows a similar structure broken down into 11 modules. Following either course, attendees must pass an assessment conducted by SIA to be certified.
