Only the educated are free. - Epictetus
In todays’s context, where the economic crisis looms large before us, job security provides freedom. So “Will certifications help in my job search or maintenance of the existing one”, is a question which is very relevant.
The main focus of this topic, opportunities in education relates to the Information technology field, mainly because of the rapid obsolesce of technology and need to constantly upgrade skills. Certifications help to prove to potential employers that you are equipped to face technical situations. This is much in the manner as quoted by the Reverend Edward A. Malloy
“A college degree is not a sign that one is a finished product but an indication a person is prepared for life.”
Certifications also help in depressed job markets as the pool of potential employees is much greater for employers and certifications help in getting you before the employer. They give an edge in that the chances of your resume being looked at is much more. Ultimately performance is the key but certifications helps you prepare theoretically.
Currently the focus of the Obama administration is to boost the economy by increasing new jobs by the tune of two million. Certifications relevant for these new jobs would greatly enhance employability.
Some of the new areas likely to see rapid growth of opportunities would be:
1. Construction and Infrastructure where Construction Project Management skills and PMI certifications would be in great demand.
