17. Microsoft IT Academy and Certification Pitch PITCH The Microsoft IT Academy program provides a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for teaching and learning about Microsoft technologies such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel and preparing students for employment in the 21st century. And, the Microsoft certification site licenses ensure that students earn industry-recognized credentials and distinguish themselves in the job market. In addition to the benefits for teachers and students, IT Academy program resources are also greatly beneficial to all staff including IT personnel as it includes resources on technical content such as Office 365, Windows deployment and servers. TIE BACK to EMPLOYMENT and EDUCATION INITATIVES Every institution recognizes the need to provide access to technology skills and certifications, the challenge is to do this affordably. Over 15,000 institutions worldwide solved this challenge with Microsoft IT Academy: “This program allows our students to keep pace with changing technology and curriculum demands through rich online resources, assist educators with professional development opportunities, andlinks academic learning to real-world technology skills required by today’s job market,” Douglas Campbell, superintendent of the Talladega City school system in Alabama, said. “We are committed to giving Georgia students the skills they need to be ready for whatever they want to do after high school, whether it be college or a career,” said State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge. “We want to produce a technology-savvy workforce by ensuring access to these resources in every high school across the state.” “With the Microsoft IT Academy Program, students will always learn the latest and greatest software and technology skills, which is critical considering the rate of change with respect to information technology,” says Superintendent Randy Dorn. “Not only will this help keep students interested in learning, but it will increase their value in the eyes of prospective employers.” “The Microsoft IT Academy is helping students achieve a greater mastery of the applications—along with the means to prove that knowledge to prospective employers,” Olivia Clizbe, who has taught computer applications classes at Kamiakin High School for several years, attests to the difference the Microsoft IT Academy Program is making. How far can a Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification take a high school graduate? For a 2012 graduate in Walton County, Florida—profiled in the Walton Sun regional newspaper this week—the certification helped land a pre-college gig as a marketing designer for a major retailer. 91 percent of hiring managers consider employee certification as a criterion for hiring and 81 percent of hiring managers feel that certified individuals perform better (source: MCP Program Satisfaction Study, 2010) Certified Employees reported a higher average salary of 5.4 percent over non-certified employees (source: Global Knowledge, IT Skills and Salary Survey, Mar 2011).
