GLP Test - gateway to an LPO Career
The second Global Legal Professional (GLP) Certification test is scheduled to be held soon. An initiative supported by the legal process outsourcing (LPO) industry, the GLP Test seeks to provide a standard measure for assessment of skills and knowledge required for the industry in India.
Leading industry players recently came together for an India LPO Summit in New York. The underlying theme of the summit was that LPO is no longer a novelty, but a business reality. This is further borne out by the entry of new players like Infosys BPO and Wipro BPO in the LPO sector and various forecasts predicting that the LPO Industry will grow to a size of $2 billion by 2015.
"This test will help the LPO industry identify quality professionals from the large number of law graduates and legal professionals in India. This is why we see this new GLP test as crucial for the growth of the industry" said Mahasweta Bose, National Coordinator of the GLP Test.
The GLP Test is accepted by leading industry players, and has been developed in conjunction with the top companies in the industry— Clutch Group, Bodhi Global and QuisLex. Visit www.glptest.com for more details on the test.
