Why Certify with CompTIA?
Get Noticed in the Marketplace
Whether your students are unemployed or just starting out in the workplace, certifications prove they know how to get the job done.
Employment Retention and Better Salaries
Make sure your students’ expertise stands above the rest. Competence is usually retained during times of change, and certifications can lock them into tiered salary levels.
Learn New Skills for Better Employment Opportunities
Your students may be pigeonholed in a job they don’t want, see limited advancement, or are looking for career change. Certification can qualify them for new opportunities and get them moving in the right direction.
Stand Out in the Resume Pile
Hiring managers can demand candidates with the strongest skill set. With validated certifications on your students’ resumes, hiring managers have a clearer picture of the candidate prior to the interview.
IT Skills Shortage
IT is needed in most companies across industries and there are not enough trained IT professionals to fill the jobs. As IT continues to grow, certifications will get your students ahead of the game.
