Microsoft Word Training Pays Off for Several Industries

A great way to increase your value to any employer is to get advanced computing skills. And in the realm of word processing, Microsoft Word has no peer. Word is Microsoft's flagship word processing software and is included in the Microsoft Works Suite.

Bill Jeansonne, author of Microsoft Certification Careers: Earn More Money, says the Microsoft Office User Specialist program allows you to compete more effectively in the workplace and increase your chances of promotion over others who aren’t certified.

According to PayScale, professionals with a Microsoft Word certification and less than one year of experience have the potential to earn a median annual salary of $49,013. Industries with a high demand for Word skills include project management, information technology management, electrical and civil engineering, and business analysis.
