The government’s latest push on digital India opens up a vast array of employment opportunities for our young graduates. While institutes of higher education in India are trying their level best to keep pace with the rapidly changing technology environment that is guiding businesses globally; oftentimes they fall short of supplying ready-to-use manpower for the industry.
Our growing economy creates a job market where companies are getting more selective about the candidates they hire. Moreover, price pressures from other countries are forcing Indian IT services organisations to restrict the humongous cost that they incur during the induction training for fresh hires. This is exactly where good IT certification can play an important role in helping you get the job you have always wanted.
Certification: In a dynamic and vast work environment such as information technology, certification is the best way to market your skills. Not only does a reputed IT certification convince employers about your knowledge, competence and set skills, it is fast becoming essential on your CV if you are aspiring for a job with a leading corporate house.
Competitive and Professional Edge
Anyone who wants to shift careers and learn new skills can opt for certification. Having an IT certification is a significant advantage in today’s competitive job market. A certification can be actually a qualifier or eligibility criteria for a certain post.
Career Progression
Even if you want to make a career shift or aspire to move into a higher position in your present company, you need to enhance your skills. There is no better way to demonstrate this than earning an advance certification. It not only help those looking out for a job, but can benefit seasoned professionals as well.
Utility of Vendor-Neutral Certifications
Industry certifications are generally categorised into vendor certifications and vendor neutral certifications. Vendor technology certifications focus on products and vendor specific technologies such as those from Microsoft. Essentially, they teach you the way a specific technology product functions and how to manage or troubleshoot these vendor products. Vendor neutral certifications, on the other hand, focuses purely on conceptual and core competence knowledge rather than specific products.
