CERTIFi was designed to further careers, advance skills and help individuals gain knowledge vital in today’s evolving workforce,” said Brian Amkraut, Ph.D., Vice President and General Manager Workforce Development and Community Impact at Mercy College. “I am looking forward to working with partners in both the public and private sectors to develop new certificate programs.”

The first offerings will be in the critical fields of software coding and education for the emerging industry.

“Many jobs are sitting open because employees and potential candidates lack the skills to fill them,” said Amkraut. “Mercy is prepared to fill that gap by connecting with the workforce needs across the country. Moreover, research over the past year has shown that most workers who have been displaced by the pandemic are looking for shorter-term skills preparation rather than degrees. Mercy is prepared to help them by providing certificate programs that can quickly arm job seekers with in-demand skills and credentials they need now.”
