BDPA CINCINNATI CHAPTER-PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MEETING

The Value of IT Certifications

Increase Your Earning Potential Through Professional Education

In an increasingly competitive world, there are a number of characteristics that can give one the edge to go from merely surviving to thriving. One of those is the right IT certification. Studies suggest that certifications can raise the earnings potential of the IT professional by 30%. Quotes from industry experts suggest other reasons certifications are important in today's economy:

--"For those who fear layoffs, certifications serve as a visible demonstration of commitment to the profession and the job-a commitment that could make the difference between being a layoff survivor or victims"

--"We believe employees don't have to be certified to be proficient, but it does show the employee has gone above and beyond"

--"For IT professionals who want to get or switch jobs, certifications are more important now than ever"
