“This is a great example of a community partnership that has done intensive research and found the most effective ways to provide for both the needs of local employers and for Los Angeles-area residents who need jobs,” said Mayor Randy Hope.He described it as an “exciting opportunity” and said it was a key element in strengthening the local economy.Graduates will complete two high school credits and can obtain two additional credits when they acquire paid or volunteer employment.

Polly Smith of Ontario Works said a partnership with local businesses will provide links to local employers who are hiring and participants will be shown the various types of customer service jobs available.Smith said the program was originally developed after discussion with area businesses that were hiring but had difficulty finding applicants with the right skill sets.

Participants for the first session have been referred from various agencies who work with the unemployed including Ontario Works, Walpole Island First Nations Economic Development and Training and Community Living Wallaceburg’s jobmatch program.

Smith said the program was piloted in Chatham in January and enabled participants to finish their Grade 12 with most finding employment within four weeks of the training.

Yes i would say it is a better certification then the A+. The A+ is pretty much in my opinion the lowest IT certification you can get. I don’t know what IT path you are trying to pursue whether its networking, security, project management or whatever that will determine how worthwhile a certification is.

MCSE is a generally known as certification provided by Microsoft Corporation and stands for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers. This certification provides a qualitative movement to your resume in the Information Technology field. MCSE engineers are known to get good offers financially compared to other engineers of equivalent education.

The certification qualifies a person to analyze the business necessities and find solutions in information systems, and the individual is able to plan and implement the infrastructure required. MCSE is available in two streams Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. Both the streams have different sets of examinations. The certification is suitable for most engineers and analysts and is especially suitable for systems engineers & analysts and Network engineers & analysts. sessions and special events etc.

Of course it doesn’t hurt to have a lot of certification but they generally take a while to study for and can be quite difficult. Check out the site below it has a lot of info on IT certification and various info.

It depends what sort of work you want to do. It might be that for the job you want an MSCE is a completely useless qualification.If on the other hand you are going into some kind of job such as training consultant or system administrator the certification would be invaluable.
