Ready to Jumpstart Your IT Career? Get Certified!

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.

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. Eighty-six percent of hiring managers said IT certifications were a high or medium priority during the candidate evaluation process.
