(BEYA Seminar 2748) Advance Degree vs. IT Certification (Presented by The Mitre Corporation)
Learning Objective: Discover which professional development learning path is better for your career.
The increasing rate of technology innovation and the expansion of globalization has led to a significant increase in the level of competition in STEM fields. Whether you’re new to IT, a recent STEM graduate, or an industry veteran there will always be a need to be relevant in order to move your career forward. The ongoing debate regarding the values placed on industry certifications versus a degree remains a topic of discussion with employers and employees alike. The results of these debates often lead to the unfulfilling answer of “it depends”. This interactive discussion will review some of those dependencies, debunk hiring myths, and provide real-world examples of how each professional development path can impact your career.
At the end of this seminar, participants will:
- Understand the demand signals that drive the need for new skills
- Debunk myths that occur during the hiring process and how value is attributed to candidates
- Identify methods to differentiate your resume in a pool of competitive candidates
- Review the ideas surrounding mastery vs. knowledge and how each is viewed
