The value of the certification We Offer

As the world moves to a global economy with easier movement of employees and increased competition, there is a technology skills gap that can be felt in almost every country.

The 2018 IT Skills and Salary Report from Global Knowledge confirms that skills gaps are a global concern.  In their survey of 14,300 IT professionals worldwide, more than two-thirds of the IT decision-makers reported a gap between their team’s skill levels and the knowledge required to achieve organizational objectives.  The increased need to match employer needs with workforce skills points out the value of certification.

Certification, particularly entry-level certification, helps to build a skilled workforce that meets the needs of local employers and government tech initiatives. 

By offering the right balance of academic excellence and real-world skills, you can give students the confidence and motivation they need to succeed both in school and in a profitable career.

Certification improves academic performance

Several studies show that students who earn certification have an increased graduation rate, higher G.P.A., increased post-secondary enrollment and improved confidence.  The Florida Career and Professional Education department performance report in particular shows an average G.P.A. of 3.09 for students with certification compared to 2.72 for students without certification.  An impressive 97.2% of students with certification graduate compared to 83.9% of students without.

Certification makes a resume stand out

Adobe asked current and aspiring digital media professionals about the essentials for launching a successful digital media career.  When asked what would make a digital media professional’s resume stand out in lieu of experience, 61% said a demonstrable knowledge of digital design tools and 44% said digital media certifications from a top-tier company. The entire survey field agreed that certifications can help candidates prove their skills to prospective employers.

In a Microsoft Certified Professional survey, 91% of hiring managers said they consider employee certification as a criterion for hiring.

Quality Service

Our student support agents have the highest levels of technology training that often creates multiple job offers. All agents (high school, college/university level and experts) work for Nevada Help Desk because they are passionate about sharing the power of technology with others.

Our training program for youth and young adults involves technology plus 12 core values: ethics, respect, honesty, self-discipline, keeping commitments, accountability, responsibility, humility, persistence, self-control, timeliness and kindness. Graduates understand their success is only partially dependent upon tech skills.

Diversity & Inclusion:

Nevada Help Desk is a diverse company with diverse perspectives which is crucial to building robust, innovative and successful teams.  We celebrate what makes each self-employed student agent unique.  We welcome what they have to contribute to the education and business culture.  We believe that you cannot truly bring your true self to class or the workplace if you are not coming to an environment where you are accepted.  Education is key to personally develop and thrive.

 

Our program design includes hosting year long training (in person & virtual) for student agents from underserved communities.  We do not discriminate against a person’s race, color, ethnicity, nationality, religion, social-economic status, education, age, gender, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, mental or physical ability, teaching them various in-demand technology applications to prepare them for the workforce.  High School students are taught coding classes, web development, digital marketing, Microsoft 365, Business communication and Leadership training.  What sets us apart from similar programs in our state is that we train, certify, refer students for work requests and/or employment with our consortium members and community partners.  Leveraging the resources of our consortium members who consist of more than 45 secondary institutions and 7 postsecondary institutions along with a host of employer partners, we refer all students for employment who earn at least one in-demand technology certification.
