Koenig Solutions : One stop shop for your CCNA Security Certification

There is a very famous quote – Education and Skills should go hand in hand. This saying applies to all of us since the primary focus during the course of obtaining a degree is to obtain good marks and stay ahead of the crowd. It would be fair to say that the syllabus and courses in the engineering field are mostly designed to deliver information rather than imparting skills. Hence, it becomes very crucial to bridge the ever-widening Skills Gap.

Needless to mention that with the advent of the internet and rapid development in the technological field, it is very important to keep pace with the latest trend. During my engineering days which was way back in 2002, most of us wanted to join MNC’s and had plans to become a manager in order to lead a convenient life. There was a trend to work in the industry for a couple of years, grow up the corporate ladder and settle down as a Manager but times are different now and growing focus in on Doing things as well as getting things done!

As per a National Employability Report by Aspiring Minds, there is a significant skill gap due to which many of the engineering graduates are ‘unemployable’ and need to be trained in order to them employable [Source]. This is an alarming scenario and this is where MOOC, online courses, and courses with hands-on training by reputed institutes can be of great help. Though Data Science, IOT, NLP, etc. are in huge demand, skills like CCNA, Networking are still in huge demand. CCNA certification is still in huge demand and the most sought out even in 2017.

Whether you are an engineer fresh out of college or an experienced professional, it is worthwhile to invest your valuable time on CCNA training and opt for some good CCNA courses. The main USP of getting a CCNA certification is that you can expect a pay hike of around 20~30% after getting certified. If you love networking, dealing with complexities of TCP/UDP, and all things related to networks than Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is the course that you should opt for. The CCNA course lays the foundation of your networking skills and establishes you an expert in that field certifying your capability to upkeep complex enterprise level networks.
