3. Increase Earning Potential

The time and effort invested in getting State and Federal certifications often results in increased income. 

4. Grow Knowledge and Skills

By acquiring new and updated industry information or techniques, you can hone current work habits that may be causing inefficiencies or quality issues with your output while increasing your competencies. This can help give you the skills and confidence to try something new such as establishing the groundwork to implement a more sophisticated working environment for your consultancy.

There are an increasing number of companies, non-profits, and government organizations that, when working with independent consultants, want (or may even be required) to engage Women, Minorities, Handicapped/Disabled Individuals and Veterans Businesses who have certain certifications from recognized State or Federal Agencies/programs.
