How Microsoft technology drives IT job growth
IT job seekers would be smart to explore gaining an IT certification with Microsoft, according to the software maker, who says a revamped training catalog addresses emerging technologies such as virtualization and cloud computing as well as foundational high-tech skills.
“In terms of training and certification, we have seen the fastest ramp up on Windows 7 than any technology in the past five years,” says Chris Pirie, general manager of sales and marketing for Microsoft Learning. “We are anticipating a big wave of desktop refreshes and we will be having a new wave of Office software this summer. Certification is very hot for us right now.”
