Dell EMC Introduces New Certifications to Establish and Validate IT Skills of the FutureHOPKINTON, Mass., Feb. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- News Summary:
Full story Dell EMC unveiled new certifications that establish and validate the expertise IT professionals need to build their careers and help organizations compete in the digital economy. Part of the Dell EMC Proven Professional program, these certifications confirm the knowledge and experience needed to accelerate an IT department's time to transformation. Modernizing infrastructure to enable a digital transformation requires a new way of operating and securing IT, and in some cases may require entirely new roles. Recent research conducted for Dell Technologies by Vanson Bourne, specialists in technology research, shows that inadequate skills and expertise is one of the top three barriers slowing digital progress. The research shows that both formal and informal learning, as well as practical experience are the top ways people want to prepare themselves for the digital future. Dell EMC's new transformational certifications allow individuals to build their skills and validate their experience while providing a rigorous framework that gives CIOs confidence. "Organizations as well as individuals realize that investing in workforce readiness and new skills is key to future success and competitive differentiation," said Charles Atkins, vice president, Dell EMC Education Services. "Dell EMC recognizes successful digital transformation requires more than technology, so we are helping our customers develop the critical talent – in-house and within technology partners – needed for the future." Part of the industry-recognized Dell EMC Proven Professional program, which has issued more than 150,000 certifications globally, the enhancements include:
IT professionals who are already certified or plan to be certified in VMware as well as Dell EMC's new certifications can earn co-skilled badges for the following combinations:

As part of the Dell EMC Proven Professional certification program, these certifications help identify and validate IT professionals who combine in-depth technical knowledge with an understanding of the business drivers that fuel digital transformations." "Earning the Dell EMC VMware Co-skilled Master Digital Badge is a great way for IT professionals to demonstrate to employers and peers that they have the high level of training, skills and expertise that spans products and solutions across Dell EMC and VMware. The Dell EMC VMware co-skilled Associate and Expert badges validate their ability to confidently and competently configure and manage converged/hyper-converged infrastructure and multi-cloud environments in mission-critical deployments," said Robin Gunn, vice president, Worldwide Readiness and Customer Education, VMware.
