Client
The client is a multinational staffing and workforce solutions provider with operations in over 80 countries. Known for its high-volume placement capabilities across healthcare, logistics, and government sectors, the firm specializes in contingent labor, direct hire, and workforce management services. With a reputation for rapid deployment and operational flexibility, the organization sought to elevate its talent offering to meet increasingly complex client demands, particularly in regulated environments.
Challenge
The client faced a high-stakes requirement to fulfill a large-scale government contract that mandated PMP® certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI) for nearly 5,000 associates. The timeline was aggressive, six months to upskill, test, and credential the workforce. This required not only rapid curriculum development and delivery, but also application support, proctoring logistics, and alignment with federal compliance standards. The existing training infrastructure was not equipped to handle the scale or specificity of the demand.
Solution
AMS designed and delivered a customized project management learning track tailored to the client’s workforce. Grounded in a core competency gap analysis and aligned with the PMBOK® Guide, the program addressed both foundational knowledge and applied skills. As a Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.) with PMI, AMS was able to fast-track accreditation, enabling immediate certification and reducing the cycle time from training to on-the-job application. The solution included digital learning modules, live instruction, and coordinated exam proctoring across multiple geographies.
Benefits
The client realized immediate value from the newly credentialed talent pool, enabling them to fulfill the government contract ahead of schedule and with enhanced credibility. This strategic upskilling not only secured the initial engagement but also positioned the firm to win additional contracts in adjacent verticals. By promoting the availability of certified project managers as a distinct offering, the organization differentiated itself from competitors and opened a new market segment. This “blue ocean” approach allowed them to diversify their portfolio, expand into industries previously untapped.
