Background
A concept initially created and conceptualized as part of a 2007 project management tasking at the University of Maryland, University College named "An Open Resource Allowing For College Students Learning Via Real World Projects" the founders of CertificationPoint saw a gaping hole in the process of what was available to college students once they graduated while having limited resume, experience, and business contacts to go along with an expensive degree. A few the trio of students launched CertificationPoint.

Innovation
The introduction of college students to the CertificationPoint.Org eMarketplace has increased competition for bid-based global work projects, according to the owner of the increasingly popular e-Marketplace. The idea of introducing college students to the career field neutral website to build up their on-the-job skills and resume while in college has really caught fire in an industry traditionally reserved for business professionals and professional freelancers.
