Are You Prepared for the New Economy?

The rules have changed. What used to work doesn’t anymore. In the old economy, having a degree was your ticket to getting a job. Now that entry-level job may be taken up by someone with a degree, plus experience, and quite possibly advanced skill training. The question is how will you compete?

In the old economy, companies could get by with inefficiencies and still be competitive. There was enough market to share. Not anymore. Global competition, shrinking budgets, and wary customers are driving companies to operate with a higher level of competency than ever before.

• What is the difference between yesterday’s economy and today’s economy?

  Jobs are at a premium. They demand broader skills, better preparation. Good products, good luck and “gut feel” may have worked in the past, but the uncertain future requires a different skill set.

• In today’s economy, how do you add more skill training to an already streamlined educational program?

  Today employers are looking for a diploma AND job-relevant skills. Certification shows that you have both. Your goal is to get a job that will launch a successful career. The trick is to position yourself now so you are considered for that first job. Additional training and certification can do that.

• Is certification training available even though I have limited experience?

  The answer is BYU’s Certified Quality Process Analyst (CQPA) training. It is designed specifically for someone with less experience. The CQPA credential is a proven and effective standard of excellence. Our trainers have experience in over 40 countries in connecting this excellent theory with effective, results-oriented practice.
