By equipping learners with tangible evidence of their applied soft skills, CTI graduates can signal their skills more effectively, giving employers a more comprehensive way to validate the skills they need most, yet struggle to find. By adopting CareerPrepped schoolwide, CTI has become a trailblazer in addressing the evolving needs of the job market.

"We're thrilled to celebrate Commonwealth Technical Institute as the pioneering institution to attain EWS Programmatic Certification," said Dr. Amir Moghadam, CEO of MaxKnowledge.
