“To learn to behave like an executive was my goal going into this program. And I think I got that. Having gone to Cornell and being able to put that on my resume is certainly valuable when I’m out there talking to people. To gain these soft skills and be able to apply them is also valuable to the people you work with.”
Why are certificates on the rise, and degrees in decline?
The proliferation of professional certificate programs is easily explained: As compared to postsecondary degree programs, online certificate programs are more cost-effective, convenient, and take less time to complete. A certificate program enables you to focus on learning particular skills and techniques that can be applied directly to your job.
Completion of a certificate program typically comes with a hard-copy credential that demonstrates competence and expertise. For most, the attraction is to become more valuable or attractive to an employer.
While degree programs tend to suffer from high attrition, certificate programs boast higher completion rates, often over 90%. In short, certificates are a convenient and affordable way to skill up without incurring huge debt or a costly time investment.

Dr. Mike Goodboe, SVP and Regional HR Director for G4S Secure Solutions. G4S is the largest security company in the world, with over 650,000 employees. eCornell and G4S developed a 12-course custom certificate program that features MBA-style training for the company’s High-Potential Manager Program.
Mike was a presenter at eCornell’s Breakfast Briefing Roundtable Event in New York City, February 23, 2012.
“Through eCornell we have created a unique management development program, a mini-MBA of sorts, that is focused on developing the core leadership and management capabilities of high-potential team members from all G4S companies in the US and Canada. Achieving business results ultimately rests on the quality of our leaders and their strategic agility, understanding of the marketplace, ability to handle and effect change successfully, make informed decisions, and lead through creativity and innovation. The eCornell solution is the ideal combination of executive-level learning content and a flexible, compelling delivery model.”
