Technology is changing the future of work. In every industry, employers expect interns and recent graduates to have the digital capabilities they need to thrive in a modern—often hybrid or remote—working environment. 

While digital skills are a great start, students also need skills in data, AI, and cloud technologies to make the most of every opportunity.

That's why earning a Microsoft Certification can help students to do more than just build technical skills. They can help you to:

- validate your skills and abilities
- prove your commitment to learning the latest technologies
- help you stand out, gain confidence, and even get paid more.

According to the [Value of IT Certification Report](https://home.pearsonvue.com/Test-Owner/Market-expertise/Information-Technology/VOC.aspx?azure-portal=true) 2021, about 28 percent of technical professionals say getting certified led to salary or wage increases, and 91 percent reported greater confidence in their abilities, upon earning a certification.

The Microsoft Learn platform is a great place to start. Whether you're a student or an experienced professional, the platform offers a variety of learning content based on topics and products including Azure, Microsoft 365, and Power Platform developed by experts in the technology industry.
