The Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, a public policy think tank located in Arlington, Virginia recently completed a study on the impact of the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) training program. 

In a survey of human resource managers and specialists from Fortune 500,    Inc. 500 and new NASDAQ listed tech start-ups, AdTI found:

 

• 72% of H.R. managers and specialists are familiar with the program
• 55% of surveyed companies had MCSE's on their staff
• 87% of H.R. managers surveyed believed that MCSE's are equally or more successful than college graduates.

 

"Companies are educating and graduating their own class of engineers for the technology revolution," says AdTI research fellow Jeffrey Hogg.  "The success of this program is more far-reaching than we expected."
