Certification Opens Doors for College Student David Wenkel to Prove His Skills in the Marketplace

Overview As a senior at Columbia College of Missouri, David Wenkel recognized early on the benefits of validating his technical skills with certification. Majoring in business administration with an emphasis in management information systems, Wenkel first began proving his skills by completing his Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification, which made him eager to pursue other certifications that could further his career. While a student at McHenry County College, Wenkel discovered Microsoft Office Specialist certification and noticed that the requirements to pass the Microsoft Word 2000 exam corresponded closely to the objectives of a required word processing course he was taking.
