(CONTRIBUTED PHOTO)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>SALT LAKE CITY\u2014Certiport, a Pearson VUE business, and the leading provider of performance-based IT certification exams that accelerate academic and career opportunities for learners, announced Friday a new partnership with Island Training Solutions in the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n<p>Through its customized approach to design and implementation, Island Training Solutions has become a leading learning resource throughout the CNMI, offering training and certifications to a variety of clients ranging from large corporations and government agencies to small non-profit organizations. Island Training Solutions will now partner with Certiport to provide industry-recognized certifications to learners in the CNMI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted about our new partnership with Island Training Solutions,\u201d said Craig Bushman, general manager of Certiport. \u201cIndustry-recognized certifications can have a significant impact on a student&#8217;s career prospects in [the CNMI] by demonstrating industry-relevant skills, increasing job opportunities, improving earning potential, enhancing professional credibility, and advancing career progression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlobally, employers continue to report a shortage of qualified workers, and although employers have many job openings, they struggle to find skilled, qualified applicants to fill those positions. Certification helps close the gap, benefitting not only individual learners, but also our country and its economy,\u201d said Jim Arenovski, owner of Island Training Solutions. \u201cCertiport is the sole provider of some of the world\u2019s biggest academic certification programs, and we are excited to be able to offer their full portfolio of certifications to the people of Micronesia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These certifications, plus additional curriculum and learning materials, are now available to Island Training Solutions\u2019 learners.
