With so many job losses, virtual employees may be an even bigger part of the future workforce as companies are hesitant to commit to long-term or contracted employees. This is a boon for virtual offices. This certification will also help virtual workers prove their skill set. I expect to see more of this in other schools across the nation.

I can see why. This is an entrepreneur's dream come true in some ways. Finding virtual workers and building distributed workforces is a challenge at best. Certifications like this one give me confidence that I am hiring someone with at least the basic skills to help me run my virtual office. I noticed a lot of different skill sets the college is teaching, which means we'll have virtual workers with a broad brush. This is a great development.

This is sort of a sign of the times. You'd expect a college in California to be on the forefront of something like this because of Silicon Valley, but I bet it will spread to other states. This should be a boon for virtual office workers who want to set themselves apart from the pack. I see a lot of these folks on eLance and I've had mixed experiences. This credential would turn my head. It sounds like this virtual office professional program has all the bases covered. This is sort of a sign of the times.

A program to train virtual workers is a valuable one for entrepreneurs and small businesses that rely on virtual workers. Unfortunately, I've run into one too many virtual assistants or virtual workers that say they are professionals with a certain skill set but are anything but. This type of training will bring to the labor market much-needed resources that are properly trained with the skills small businesses need most. This college really is on the cutting edge.
