Visa is set to introduce a new certification programme to help train individuals as dispute resolution professionals, which is a sought after role in the payments industry.
To support the qualified applicants in getting training, Visa is offering up to 500 scholarships.
The announcement follows a recent report, which indicated that 75% of HR professionals in the US see lack of skills in applicants for job openings.
Certificate programmes help candidates to develop the skills and experiences required for a special job in a shorter time without spending much money.
Those who complete certification programmes get a 20% salary hike, according to a Georgetown University study.
Under the dispute resolution professional certification programme, Visa will offer training for a number of days and then conduct professional-level certification tests.
