Abstract

Considering technology is central to modern-day living, it is no surprise that the employee of the information technology industry is in great demand worldwide. However, there are other aspects to consider, so breaking into that business is not as straightforward as it may appear. This study focuses on a few critical criteria that have a substantial influence on the employment rate in the IT industry, such as a specific person's credentials, such as a graduate in information technology, IT-related certification, or both. The goal of this study is to determine if people with degrees or simply certifications increase the likelihood of success in securing positions in the computer technology business. The investigators of the study collected information from 50 IT employees in Metro Manila, who then assembled their findings utilizing the correlational technique used as the design, as well as unbiased and snowball sampling. approaches as the sampling methods and onetailed t-test and Anova as the statistical tools. After reviewing the data, the investigators concluded that college or university degrees are still highly regarded by companies when assessing job applications and that those with them are more vulnerable to getting prestigious positions. IT certifications, on the other hand, are only a bonus.
