Professional recognition

CP-SWP gave me a way to formally recognise the Strategic Workforce Planning experience and capability I had built throughout my career. The process was practical, relevant and genuinely valuable, giving me the opportunity to reflect on my experience and demonstrate how I apply SWP in practice. Achieving the CP-SWP certification has given me greater confidence in my capability and professional recognition that I can carry with me throughout my career. I’m proud to be able to use the CP-SWP post-nominal and to be recognised as part of a growing global profession.
