However, going through each certification's benefits and requirements can be a daunting task. Each certification program has experience or degree requirements, so those early in their careers should first see what’s required.Ĭhoosing a certification program should be based both on what you’re doing now, and what you hope to be doing later in your career. Those in the supply chain field should consider getting certification early in their career, shortly after college graduation, Cohn said. I’d pay them more than someone with the same experience who is not certified,” he said. “If I’m hiring a planning manager, I’d consider paying more to someone who is APICS certified. Even in the initial hire, it can bump up the pay. Someone who is more knowledgeable will bring more to the position and the company, says Cohn. Several of the institutes mentioned cite studies showing higher pay for those with their designations, and Cohn and Seliger both agree with that assessment. “Without a doubt, any certification would bump up someone in the job pool.”Ĭertification can make a difference in pay as well. But, “it makes a huge difference if someone cares and has invested in getting that knowledge, and they took an exam,” Seliger said. Work experience counts for a lot, and Seliger and Cohn both said they wouldn’t hire based on certification alone. Director of Supply Chain, LSC Communications
