Mesa Community College adds Jamf certification to its Apple technology course series
29 Aprile 2024 - 3:15PM
Today, Mesa Community College (MCC) announced it is partnering with
Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in managing and securing Apple at
work, to bring Jamf training to MCC students and aspiring IT
professionals. This critical new certification introduced through
the Maricopa Information Technology Institute (MITI) will be added
to MCC’s Enterprise IT Professional for Apple Technology course
series.
The IT job market is experiencing tremendous growth bringing
high demand for skilled support and technical staff within the
enterprise. According to the US Department of Labor, jobs in
computer and information systems are projected to grow faster than
the average for all occupations from 2020 to 2030, as companies
expand their use of technology.
Apple products are also increasingly popular in business,
resulting in rising demand for IT professionals that have the
specific skills required to manage iPhone, iPad, and Mac
environments. In fact, Jamf reported that its community of
professionals who manage Apple products at work has grown by more
than 150 percent since 2017 to more than 100,000 members.
Even with this growth and the IT industry’s resilience in a down
economy, organizations are still struggling to fill positions with
qualified workers.
“Currently the Apple Developer Enterprise Program management job
market has more jobs than certified applicants,” said Alvin
Bridges, MCC associate vice president for College Technology
Services. “In just a few semesters we can change a first-generation
college student into a functional Jamf administrator which can
effectively change the trajectory of their lives using
industry-standard tools and best practices.”
MCC alumnus, Madison Rogers met Bridges during his final
semester of earning an Associate in Applied Science in Graphic
Design at MCC. His search for a part-time job resulted in a
position as a Lab Technician in MCC’s Art Department working on the
Macintosh computers used by students. Bridges provided one-on-one
instruction to Rogers, netting a firm grasp on Jamf functions and
opening career opportunities in the IT field. Rogers now has a
successful career as a System Administrator working on a systems
engineering team at a local financial institution.
“When I was at MCC, AppleCare wasn’t even a thing yet. Having
formal training available at MCC is an incredible opportunity for
so many,” explained Rogers. “My experience working with Alvin at
MCC was incredible – surrounded by real use cases, learning beside
colleagues on the same journey. I’ve even hired one of my fellow
‘students’ to be part of my team. I knew it would be great because
we learned together how to solve applications with Jamf.”
Jamf’s industry-leading Apple device management and security
platform will be taught at MCC beginning in fall 2024; Jamf
Training Foundation (BPC265). Consisting of eight weeks of
instructor-led classes, training includes account provisioning,
identity management, password sync, zero-touch deployment, app
lifecycle management, and antivirus protection, among other
solutions.
“Jamf certification is a highly sought-after skill by
employers,” said Diane Meza, director of MITI. “It is the most
widely used Mobile Device Management (MDM) system in Apple
enterprise technology. This new Jamf training is critical to the
Apple Technology curriculum as it’s the portion of the program that
makes students employable.”
