Prosoft Learning Corp. (NASDAQ: POSO), owner of the CIW certification program, today announced that Web technology classes in select Wisconsin high schools have begun incorporating CIW curriculum. These schools are part of a pilot program created by a new CIW statewide partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Through the partnership, Prosoft will work with the state to support teachers throughout the CIW implementation process at all participating Wisconsin high schools. Introducing the CIW curriculum helps schools meet the state's established Academic Standards for Information and Technology Literacy. Wisconsin represents the 10th state that has endorsed the CIW program. Benjamin Fink, president and CEO of Prosoft, said, "We are especially pleased with our ability to partner with the state of Wisconsin, which is known nationwide for its progressive attitude toward technology education. Our goal is to make sure that Wisconsin students are the ultimate beneficiaries of this partnership: They will be able to show increased IT workforce readiness by graduating with both a diploma and an industry-recognized certification. By working together, we will create a pool of future IT professionals who can participate in Wisconsin's growing economy." The program implementation began with a state-funded pilot phase rolled out in four high schools. During this phase, Prosoft provided the pilot schools with Official CIW Curriculum, assessment tools to help students prepare for CIW exams, and membership in the CIW Certified Testing Center (CTC) program that enables in-class testing for CIW certification exams.
