IT Certifications and Degrees: Coming Soon from Pepsi?
IT recruiters Boston to IT recruiters CA have been seeing some surprises on IT contractors’ resumes: corporate schools. Brands like Red Bull have been creating programs that provide traditionally more academic type training. With new technologies coming out all the time, the information technology field is particularly fertile for such “corporate schools.” The ability to hire splashy speakers on hot topics is practically second nature to a lot of big brands. Selling seats for the lecture is only a problem when they are just that: seats that are sold. The educational value is still debatable when these schools have to weigh their desire for consumers with things like testing, student evaluations, and grades.
For now, these collaborations are a little controversial. IT headhunters are less than thrilled to find IT consultants with credentials they so obviously paid for and have far less reputable names. However, IT professionals are pointing out that many credentials already fit these bills (no pun intended). Additionally, charter schools and online education long ago starting paving the way for these corporate schools. IT certifications seem more likely to start coming from corporate schools more and more frequently in the future. It’s only a matter of time.
