No Cost Certifications!
The Certified Workforce Initiative is a FederalMI-led program dedicated to improving delivery, accountability, and performance across the GovCon industry. It provides govcon organizations with the opportunity to certify their workforce and demonstrate measurable commitment to quality and mission success.
FederalMI is giving small and mid-sized government contractors the chance to certify their workforce — at no cost.
Here’s what’s included:
5 complimentary certification credits
(up to $499 value per employee)
Direct access to FederalMI’s recognized GovCon credentials
Free study materials via the FederalMI Body of Knowledge
Zero administrative work — provide employee emails and we handle the rest
Strengthen delivery performance and accountability
Demonstrate to clients that your team meets recognized professional standards
Enhance credibility in proposals and recompetes
Invest in workforce development without taking staff off billable work
