Panelists speak to the impact of IT certs
Recently, our National Director John Casella, was featured on a panel discussion for Learning Leaders 2022. The session entitled, The Impact of IT Certification on Employee Retention and Skills Gaps, revealed key takeaways from research reports, together with steps to mitigate bottom-line impacts, close skills gaps, and boost everything from productivity to morale.
According to the research provided by Learning Leaders 2022, the United States’ leadership position in the tech industry may be at risk, thanks to the global talent shortage. According to consulting firm Korn Ferry, when considering tech alone, the U.S. stands to lose upwards of $162 billion in revenue unless it finds—or trains—more high-tech workers to fill that skills gap. Faced with this conundrum, how are companies adapting and what are they doing to resolve it?
Findings from recent global surveys of the IT community, including employers, showed that the IT community places a great deal of value on certification and credentialing. Our analysis of the survey data revealed a clear and common thread: the importance individuals place on IT certification and the sustained efforts most put into attaining their goals (Pearson VUE 2021 Value of IT Certification Report).
