Career Advantages of Earning a Certificate

Earning a certificate is a time-effective way to help your career in many ways. Specialized credentials demonstrate a specific level of expertise or competency in a particular skill, technology or field, making you more desirable to recruiters.

On average, individuals with certificates tend to earn higher salaries compared to those without certificates. A 2019 research study of 207,332 Texas high school graduates found that students who completed a short certificate had mean earnings 8% higher than those with no college credits while students who completed a long certificate had earnings 17% higher.* Additionally, the employment rate of students with certificates was approximately double the rate of those with no college credits.*

Completing a certificate program can also keep your skills sharp and competitive in the workforce. The World Economic Forum projects that over 50 percent of the workforce is anticipated to need reskilling and upskilling by 2022.**
