BLOOMFIELD, N.J. - TelAve -- Thrive Leadership Institute, Inc. announced that its Founder and CEO, Anna D. Banks, holds the Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) credential, a nationally and internationally recognized certification awarded by the Center for Credentialing & Education (CCE).

The GCDF credential recognizes professionals who meet established standards in career development facilitation, workforce readiness, employability, and career transition support. Banks originally earned the certification in 2007 and maintains active status through ongoing professional development and recertification, reflecting a long-standing commitment to professional excellence in workforce and career services.
