DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. – New learning resources to help technology workers, business professionals, students and others enhance their business and workplace skills are now available from CompTIA, Inc., the leading global provider of vendor-neutral information technology (IT) training and certification products.

CompTIA Business Essentials and CompTIA Soft Skills Essentials are the newest editions to the company’s growing selection of skills-building products for individuals and organizations.

“Fluency in a variety of skills is essential in today’s workplace,” said Katie Hoenicke, senior vice president, product development, CompTIA. “Whether it’s understanding the fundamentals of technology, building business acumen or strengthening professional skills, the CompTIA Essentials Series can set you up for success.”

CompTIA Business Essentials offers instruction on how businesses function and operate, as well as financial literacy. Business strategy, strategic thinking and implementation, return on investment, value creation and financial statements and reports are among the topics covered.

CompTIA Soft Skills Essentials enhances competency in critical interpersonal, communication and collaboration skills. Topics covered include character, professionalism, critical thinking and problem-solving.

Earlier this year CompTIA introduced AI Essentials, designed to equip learners with a foundational understanding of the artificial intelligence concepts, tools and techniques that are essential in today’s technology-driven workplace.

New CompTIA research reveals that 89% of active job seekers recognize the importance of digital fluency skills in today’s workforce.[1] Non-active job seekers express a similar intent to build skills for advancing or avoiding falling beyond in their career.

All CompTIA Essentials training follows a skills-based framework aligned with a learning model that utilizes narrative text, video, illustrations, interactives and assessments. This approach provides relevance through practice and feedback and allows the learner to demonstrate mastery of the subject matter through hands-on activities and assessments.
