Peterborough, NH (PRWEB) August 8, 2007 -- Effective Monday, August 6, 2007 the Career Masters Institute (a division of Kennedy Information) officially transitions to the Career Management Alliance. This announcement paves the way for an aggressive acquisition and roll-up strategy to integrate career management specialists into one professional association that will set the standards for the future of the industry. This comes at a particularly critical time when the career management industry is undergoing a massive transformation and expansion in response to the dramatic economic and hiring changes in the global employment landscape.
The career management industry includes professionals involved in the design and delivery of career planning, career assessment, career development and job search services. This includes career coaches, career counselors, professional resume writers, outplacement consultants, college and university career development professionals, government and military career transition personnel, recruiters, staffing specialists, workforce development professionals, employment specialists, interview coaches, authors and other engaged in career management.
Over the past nine years, the Career Masters Institute has built a 1500+ page website of resources for its members, developed two of the most prestigious professional credentials in the industry (Credentialed Career Manager - CCM; Master Resume Writer - MRW), and provides ongoing training and professional development opportunities.
The association has partnered with major job boards, employment websites, resume posting websites, training companies and others to bring all career services under one umbrella. Partners include Insala, Netshare, Reach Personal Branding, JibberJobber.com, WorkGiant.com, ResumeSpider.com, Pro/File Research, Allison & Taylor, WEDDLES, Career Coach Academy, Career Coach Institute, ResTrust.com, Laura Berman Fortgang, ProfilingPro.com, Checkster, Leadership Coach Academy, i4Market.com, Gemini Resources Group and many others.
Founded in June 1999 by Wendy Enelow, a well-known and well-respected career industry professional and the author of more than 25 career books, the Career Masters Institute has become the leading association for career management professionals with a worldwide membership. Kennedy Information acquired Career Masters in January 2007 in a direct effort to formalize, standardize and upgrade the career management industry, precisely what they accomplished with the executive recruitment industry over the past 30 years.
The Career Management Alliance is currently negotiating several acquisitions and will announce each transaction upon completion and integration of the new association into The Alliance.
