People who choose to become educated and certified tend to be more sincere about providing quality service over a longer period of time. Certification is available in every federally recognized industry. A survey “Making The Difference Microsoft Office Specialist Certification Enhances Employee Skills and Effectiveness ” by Certiport® conducted in 2008 verifies the value of being certified and recognizes the benefits of obtaining certification.The 2008 survey showed that certification:

• Increases employee proficiency at all levels (7 out of 10 certified workers say they made moderate to substantial proficiency gains; 89% of supervisors said certified employees are more proficient)

• Supports job satisfaction and loyalty (longer tenured certified employees say the opportunity to utilize skills gained through certification contributes to their overall job satisfaction)

• Increases employee effectiveness and initiative (nearly 70% of certified employees say they make a greater contribution to their employers as a result of certification; 6 out of 10 say they take on more complex or difficult assignments after certification)

• Raises the efficiency and productivity of individuals as well as organizations (62% of certified employees say that they are more productive then their non-certified co-workers; 85% of supervisors say certified employees are more productive because of their certification)

• Provides employees with the skills and competence to assist coworkers and impact the workplace in a positive way (7 out of 10 certified workers say they reach out to coworkers and show them how to improve their skills if they think it will help them with the work related task)

By educating and certifying persons able and willing to care for the frail elderly, which ranks are growing exponentially, we are providing employment opportunities, enhanced caregiver support and much higher quality, efficient, low cost care for a the very old population of seniors who chose to or must remain at home. There will be an every growing need for well trained eldercare providers far in to the future. The best time to invest in eldercare training is now while we are just a head of the curve. As people live longer and have fewer children, family structures are transformed. This has important implications in terms of providing care to older people. In our country that has a very low birth rate, future generations will have few if any siblings, as a result of this local and global trend toward having fewer children. That is why people will have less familial care and support as they age.
