Dive Deep: Specialize in an Area of Interest

Certificates often take less time to complete than a degree program. A new credential and fresh knowledge may speed up your ability to advance your career. Whether that means taking on more challenging projects, going for a promotion, or seeking a new position in another company, earning a certificate may help act as stepping stone between your current job and your goals.
