"We’ve tracked the students that went through ITIL training and certification at TAMU since 2021 and – anecdotally – they’ve had better outcomes than those who didn’t take the ITIL path: gaining employment faster and internships more easily.
And this approach helps companies which, when recruiting, must plan continuing education such as ITIL for new entrants. Instead, we can save them time and money and deliver more valuable employees from day one."“We looked for ways to provide our students with an opportunity to build a comprehensive set of capabilities, embodying technical know-how, transferable soft skills, as well as good understanding of the industrial standards of the graduate market they are entering. Our PeopleCert accreditation does exactly that, while also adding a competitive edge to their CVs. Working with PeopleCert, we’ve been able to identify the right mix of certifications to offer.”
"The college’s ‘raison d’etre’ is to educate people and support them in their pursuit of meaningful careers." "Adopting a suite of PeopleCert credentials is a value-add and a way for individuals to move up in their organisations." "In many ways it’s a match made in heaven: providing recognised competencies and just in time training for the workforce."
"ITIL 4 is one of the most in-demand certifications in Costa Rica and we considered it important to add to the curriculum as part of our students’ professional DNA and to help them into management roles. In today’s labour market, everyone is competing for the same jobs so having a point of difference is essential to gaining employment. We believe that offering ITIL 4 certification offers our students that point of difference."
"Companies need employees who are both skilled and adaptable, so the application of our MSc, PRINCE2 and having multi-lingual abilities differentiates SKEMA and our students. Through working on real projects and consulting programmes, students are jumping directly into the employment market with knowledge and experience."
"It’s important to learn new methods and get a deeper understand of those I’m already using.
The experience of being a student at Julio Garavito again was amazing. And when someone graduates from this university, the market recognises that what we’ve learned is current and relevant to what’s happening in the real world."
"We are offering PRINCE2 and M_o_R along with ITIL and Scrum to help our students get a valuable return on their financial and time investment in education. Taking the PeopleCert courses and obtaining globally-recognised certifications will give them an edge in the Colombian and wider Latin American job markets."
"Developing PRINCE2 knowledge and skills among students going into the workplace and those already there will allow companies to improve processes, procedures and mitigate risks better."
"We have evidence that students who achieve these qualifications tend to be employed – or at least shortlisted – immediately after graduation. We invite some of our alumni to events to meet new students and tell their own success story; explaining the importance of taking professional certifications while they’re studying for their course."
