Workforce Development
In response to the critical skills shortage in large systems expertise, Marist College and the IBM Corp. have jointly developed the On-Demand with Enterprise Systems certificate program. This program provides professional development for computer technologists who wish to improve their understanding of enterprise operating systems and applications
The program is unique since it is taught by recognized industry experts, some of whom actually developed the technology. The certificate program is delivered 100% online yet still provides experienced-based learning through access to the very latest System z processor located in the Knowledge Center at Marist College.
