Why we celebrate our female Master ASEs in March
#BeBoldForChange is the theme for the 2017 International Womenโs Day, celebrated this year on March 8. March is also National Womenโs History month. Thatโs why for March, we are highlighting some of the many successful female HPE Master Accredited Solution Experts from around the world to further encourage other women to pursue careers in technology.
There are plenty of research and news that provide reasons why women are not choosing technology careers. There are also plenty of news about the gap between the skills called for in open positions and the skills that potential hires currently possess making it difficult to find the right talent to fill those open positions. The Financial Times reported in 2016 that there are 600K tech job vacancies just in the UK alone, and that is forecasted to rise to 1M by 2020. If statistics proves true, this will have an impact on the economic health of a country. Keeping this in mind, I want to lend my voice in encouraging women and girls who are seeking technical job placement to pursue available technical development training and get properly certified on the type of skills needed to be a solid contender to fill the vacancies.
Technical certification is important because technology is changing at a rapid pace. The best way to stay up-to-date is through technical certifications because IT certifications:
- Validate your knowledge and skills
- Help you remain competitive and employable
- Give you job proficiency faster
- Demonstrate dedication to your career
Earning a certification is not an easy undertaking. For most people, it requires a significant investment of your time and for some, there may be a financial investment as well. But it is well worth it. According to the 2016 Certification Magazine salary survey, 74 percent of those surveyed say that โgaining increased knowledge and skills is the most important benefit of getting a certification.โ
This month you are going to meet several of our female Master ASEs, including:
- JoAnn Catcott โ JoAnn began her career in the arts, but changed her focus to technology, where she was still able to apply her creativity using technology to solve customer problems.
- Karyl Miller โ As a military spouse, Karyl found herself frequently having to relocate when her husbandโs orders changed. Her career in technology offered her the flexibility to continue her career with each move.
- Rene Feitelson โ Her love of math naturally extended to include computers, and therefore the career path seemed obvious. Learn about her passion for excellent I/O performance.
Those are just a sampling of some of the women we will be featuring this month who have completed the necessary steps to validate their skills and knowledge to earn an HPE Master ASE certification. As shown by these Mastermind profiles, careers in technology can be incredibly fulfilling and lucrative. In pursuing a career in technology, I want to encourage you to commit to lifelong to further your skills.
