In a world where competition for jobs and pay hikes is at an all-time high, certifications offer hope to candidates and educators, especially for K12 students. Pearson VUE, a global IT service management company, reveals some interesting facts about certification courses.
Certification helps to build a skilled workforce in the long run that meets the needs of local employers and government tech initiatives. Certification strikes the right balance of academic excellence and real-world skills, giving students the confidence and motivation they need to succeed in academic as well as professional careers.
According to Pearson VUE’s 2021 Value of Certification study, 69% of IT managers believe certification significantly increases an employee’s productivity,” said Ray Murray, Senior Vice President of Global Business Development, Pearson VUE. “Certifications are a great way to help candidates get their foot in the door and be more productive in their future careers.”
The findings of Education 4.0 India Report 2022 by the World Economic Forum are also quite parallel to Pearson VUE’s 2021 Value of Certification study, throwing light on how digital and other technologies can address learning gaps and make education more accessible to empower and engage young people right from the school level. The report also praises Certiport, a subsidiary of Pearson Vue, for enabling credit transferability and enhancing digital skills through industry-recognized, entry-level online certifications from leading organizations.
