WorldatWork Announces Additional Scholarship Recipients

July 26, 2010 – Washington – WorldatWork has awarded certification scholarships to 20 more deserving HR professionals. Scholars will receive a package that waives fees for WorldatWork e-learning certification preparation courses and exams as well as Premier Membership for 12 months.

“Knowing how valuable training and certification can be to career progression, WorldatWork wanted to do more to get people on the path to certification in light of current financial and economic constraints,” said Bonnie Kabin, CCP, vice president of professional development for WorldatWork. “Already, we have 30 people from around the world on the scholarship track and we hope to award more in the coming months.”

The following scholars were chosen from among hundreds of applicants based on several factors, not the least of which were stellar references and demonstrated dedication to the HR discipline.
