Congratulations to the Team at NIMS and its sponsoring partners as NIMS sets a new record for credentials issued in a year – 21,420, up 20% over 2014. Making a difference as they help to make a globally competitive skilled workforce.
What works to help us qualify and put to work long term unemployed in middle skill jobs? How do we build the ROI case for this? How do we scale it nationwide?
