GTSLearning's Managing Director, Robin Adda, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of CompTIA, (the Computing Technology Industry Association), headquartered in suburban Chicago.

CompTIA represents the voice of information technology (IT) workforce development and sponsors vocational qualifications by asking industry what skill-sets they need and creating qualifications that meet those requirements.

The Board of CompTIA contains representatives from several industry leading organizations, including DHL, Symantec, Techdata and Xerox. Holding the only overseas position on the Board, Adda will represent the international learning community.

"I am delighted to have been selected for a Board position with CompTIA", said Adda. "The international adoption of these skills-based qualifications takes a great deal of time and energy, and this new position will help to unite the combined energies of CompTIA both in the US and internationally through increased representation and promotion.

GTSLearning has sponsored a number of CompTIA certifications as a CompTIA Cornerstone Partner and has always supported the international cause for CompTIA. Having previously served as a Board Member of the Technology Learning Group when it was the IT Training Association, I look forward to this new challenge."

"I am very pleased with Robin's nomination to the Board of CompTIA", said John Venator, President and CEO of CompTIA . "I have worked with Robin and GTSLearning since 1997 to help expand the CompTIA certification and the IT Skills workforce across international regions. We welcome Robin and we are sure that he will provide a great contribution to our interests both overseas and at home."
