Years ago, industries were accustomed to training freshers after hiring them. In today’s fast-paced world, companies prefer industry-ready candidates. Candidates, after successfully completing the course will have the following advantages over their competitors in the job market:
Since the changes taking place in the field of technology are so fast-paced, it is almost impossible to keep up with the level of the changes in terms of upgrading the Institute courses. By the time a candidate is out for the real market, the technology has already changed and the learnings seem to be outdated.
Hence, in order to make their learnings and updates in technology go hand-in-hand, it is indispensable to acquire knowledge on top of their regular curriculum. IBM-ICE program leads you to this.
As mentioned above, companies want to hire people who can start working from day 1, with minimal or no technical training required. To stand out in the crowd, you need to have sufficient skills, but apart from that, you also need to showcase your skills in such a way that HR recognizes them. Having a value-added certificate on top of your graduation certificate will do the work standing you out of that crowd.
When you have proof in the form of a certificate from a reputed organisation, it is easier for the hiring people to trust and recognize your skills.
With the ever-growing education realm, numerous organisations and institutions offer certifications in various niche technology. Most of these training agencies initiated with little or no infrastructure and have not been able to give the necessary industrial exposure to the students. This ended up creating loopholes for the companies going forward.
Hence, it became crucial to evaluate the authenticity of those certificates that almost every other candidate shows up with, on the interview. It is a challenge for the hiring authorities to really differentiate between the candidates and choose the right one. Here comes in handy, the information about the organisation which has issued the certificate. Needless to say, the more the organisation is reputed, the better the trust it will impose on the hiring committee.
In case the candidate is getting certified by IBM ICE, the initiative from one of the respected brands and world leaders in technology, it will be easier for them to establish their credentials before the company they wish to join. IBM is one of the industry leaders in Technology, any company looking to hire a candidate will not have a second thought to hire as quality, industry exposure etc are all guaranteed.
