Skilled for Class, Ready to Work

Digital Skills. They're the essential to both getting work in the information-based economy and excelling in school. That's why Certiport provides internationally recognized certification programs designed to:

• Optimize Education: Students can acquire and validate the digital skills needed to make the most of their educational experience

  In today's academic settings, computing and Internet skills are crucial. Students who only possess marginal skills don't have the same opportunity as their tech-savvy classmates to take full advantage of educational experiences.

  With digital literacy and Microsoft® Office certification programs, students can:

  • Develop the skills they need to stay in school—and succeed
  • Devote class time to learning, not to the execution of assignments
  • Earn credentials recommended for college credit by the American Council on Education (ACE)
• Create Smart Hires: Give students a valuable credential—in addition to their diplomas—that helps them stand out in a crowded labor market

  Hiring managers complained in a survey that the quality of job candidates has diminished by 10 percent since 2004 and that more than one third had hired below-average candidates just to fill a position quickly. Businesses need smart hires that can contribute immediately and effectively.

  Fortunately, with certification programs from Certiport, you can:

  • Help students learn and validate digital skills required in the workplace
  • Provide your students with and industry-recognized credential to help them demonstrate skills to potential employers
  • Establish a reputation among employers for developing job-ready graduates at your institution
  • Create courses with curricula closely aligned to today's job-market requirements
