During mid July, the MeasureUp team traveled to Washington DC for this year’s Microsoft Inspire conference.

Each year, more than 16,000 Microsoft Partners from around the globe gather for a week of networking and learning. Throughout the event, Pearson VUE representatives endorsed MeasureUp at the learning and readiness area of the Microsoft booth, as the Microsoft Official Practice Test Provider.

Our team also had the pleasure of being invited to a “Workforce Development, Employability & Education in Developing Economies” session with education leaders from numerous countries. Anthony Salcito, Global VP of Education at Microsoft, shared compelling research showing the IT skills shortage being felt across the world, and how the IC3, MOS and MTA certifications are helping to validate those needed skills.
