Certifications are a great way to show mastery of new skills, and becoming certified in certain marketable skills can give graduating students and professionals an edge in today’s competitive hiring landscape. Employers are always looking for professionals who have additional skills to further develop and diversify their teams.
5 Types of Certifications Offered through MyEducator
Did you know that several MyEducator resources offer certifications through our partnering authors and institutions? These certifications look great on graduate program applications, LinkedIn profiles, and résumés. In many instances, all that’s required to obtain the certification is a competency exam related to the material students are already learning in their course. Students can use these resources to certify on their own, or instructors can use these certifications as supplements for their existing curricula.
