At Training Camp, we believe education is a critical component to economic recovery. Our SteppingStone initiative was created to help facilitate and accelerate recovery – while helping those in need along the way. In this section of our site, individuals can find information on how to take advantage of free and reduced-cost training opportunities that will help get individual careers, and our economy, back on track.
Ready to Jumpstart Your Career?
Information Technology is one of the fastest growing fields in the U.S. workforce. The demand for IT workers is on the rise, while median wages for IT job roles are nearly twice the national average of $40,690.* Eight in 10 HR executives say it’s difficult to find a candidate with the right skills to fill their job openings. Businesses are expected to do more with less, especially in challenging economic times. Finding that right candidate is critical.
Vendor certifications simplify the hiring process by providing proof of baseline knowledge and the skill sets needed for IT jobs. Certifications that map to specific job roles are important so that a job candidate has the ability to immediately become a valuable contributor to the workplace.
Fifty-three percent of IT hiring managers said certifications saved them time and money when evaluating job candidates, according to a 2011 CompTIA study. Eighty-six percent of hiring managers said IT certifications were a high or medium priority during the candidate evaluation process.
