Henry Ford Health System's Corporate IT department offers an in-house ITIL Foundation certification boot camp for its employees. Over 250 employees have been certified through this program at no cost to them other than the exam fee. To generate additional revenue, a separate but identical course is now being offered to external non-employee students. The fees from the external students will fund the internal employee classes, with just one external class supporting the internal classes for an entire year. The program was created by IT program manager Tamela Wilks and is advocated by VP and CTO John Hendricks as it provides positive financial benefits to the health system.
