Career Advice

To find out which certifications are most sought after by employers, we analyzed millions of job posting to discover frequencies of more than 5,000 different certifications. From here, we looked at certification program requirements to determine areas in which jobseekers can relatively easily find training programs and obtain certification to become competitively qualified in the shortest amount of time. Based on our analysis, five careers stood out as having the best chance of landing a job after training: certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, medical coding/billing, customer service representatives, and web designers.
Web Design can include helping businesses maintain an online presence through attractive, navigable and smoothly operating web sites. Web design jobs usually require a degree in web design or a related field, but often experience and specific certifications can make up for a lack of traditional degrees. While in-demand, these jobs are highly competitive and the more experience and skills–whether through traditional BA/AA degrees, certifications, or self-directed learning--the better.
