The VALUE of an ASSOCIATES DEGREE

Almost every profession requires a basic competency level in writing, math and computer skills, and an Associate’s degree signals to a potential employer that you possess these skills. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook notes that students just starting their career or working in a career related to their degree reap the most job market benefits from an Associate’s degree.

GET HIREDFive times as many high-growth/high-salary positions require experience with Microsoft Office than all non-Microsoft software skills combined.

The International Data Corporation (IDC) reviewed more than 76 million job postings in 2016 to determine the positions with the highest anticipated growth through the year 2024. Amongst the 20 most required skills identified were Microsoft Office (#4), oral and written communication skills, detail orientation, marketing skills, integrity and a strong customer service orientation.

Through 2027, the project management-oriented labor force in seven project-oriented sectors is expected to grow by 33 percent, or nearly 22 million new jobs.
