For each of these job roles, certifications are a powerful asset for job seekers and those looking to advance in an existing role.
More than half of IT decision-makers believe the main benefit of certified individuals is their ability to close organisational skills gaps seen in an ever-changing environment. It also showed certifications helped make hiring easier, helping job seekers stand out.[1]
