Netspan Group Taps Veteran Journalist to Help Spread Its Message of Opportunity Through Test Preparation
Netspan Group (www. netspangroup. com) has helped tens of thousands of people advance their careers by preparing them to take tests for post office, law enforcement and civil service jobs. The company, which recently added preparation for GED testing to its list of offerings, has tapped a veteran journalist to help spread its message of opportunity through comprehensive test preparation.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 18, 2009
There's an old adage that says that luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. If that's true, then Netspan Group clients are among the luckiest in the world.
The company, which has strategic partnerships with Peterson's, Simon & Schuster and JIST Publishing Inc., has helped more than 60,000 people prepare for post office, law enforcement and civil service jobs. And, with the recent addition of General Educational Development (GED) Test preparation, that number is expected to grow dramatically. www. netspangroup. com
To help spread its message of opportunity through comprehensive test preparation, Netspan Group President and CEO Marc Mansel has announced that the firm has tapped veteran journalist Jim Lamb, who has worked for newspapers owned by the Richmond, VA-based Media General and the New York Times Regional Group.
"Jim is well-suited to help Netspan Group spread its positive message of opportunity through preparation," Mansel said. "He understands, through personal experience, how preparation can help make a dream come true."
Lamb, a Vietnam-era veteran, was working in Florida in the early 1970s when gas shortages virtually shut down the residential home construction industry. Fortunately, he was able to use the GI Bill, first at a community college and later at the University of South Florida, where he majored in Mass Communication and Political Science.
"I feel that Netspan Group gives its clients much the same advantage that I was able to gain through the GI Bill, which helped prepare me for a career in journalism," Lamb said. "In talking with Marc (Mansel) it's clear to me that he and his company have a deep passion for helping others reach their full potential. I am both excited and grateful to be a part of that effort."
Upon graduation, Lamb was hired as a reporter for the Media General-owned Tampa Tribune, eventually being promoted to copy desk editor. After an 11-year-run at the Tribune, he was hired as a Section Editor for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, a New York Times Regional Group newspaper, where he won multiple awards for his editing and design skills.
The veteran journalist began working with Netspan Group earlier this year. For more about the company and its range of educational testing services,
