Course Description
Cloud computing is expected to create many new job opportunities in the future. Research suggests that about 14 million new jobs could be generated worldwide over the next three years. These jobs won't just be in the IT field; they could extend to other sectors too. While 14 million sounds like a lot, it's actually only a small fraction of the global workforce, which is over 3 billion people. So, taking your exam and getting certified today could help secure your future.
