Reasons to Apply for a Certificate
- College certificates are an excellent way to help employers quickly review your transcripts.
- College Certificates of Achievement get posted on your transcripts.
- College certificates are aligned to the state child development permits.
- Child development permits help and are required (most, not all) to get hired as a "teacher" in the early childhood field (some students use it as an avenue toward their ultimate goal if it is not early childhood education).
- College certificates are "nice" looking to post on your wall...proud showcasing!
- College certificates help out the department's funding in support of student success.
