About the Class
According to International Labor organization more than 5 million jobs will be lost in 2009. Right skills would still be sought after by companies even in these recessionary times. Hence it is essential to keep oneself differentiated from others through value adding skills like Lean and Six Sigma.
Lean and Six Sigma are some of the few recognized and valued skills still being sought after by the companies. Adding Six Sigma over and above one''s functional skills increases one''s chances of being promoted, recruited or retained by companies.
The outcome of the Salary Survey conducted by International Society for Quality stated: ''No matter which level of Six Sigma training the respondents completed, their average salaries are higher than the respondents who didn''t complete any Six Sigma training.''
Some other industry snippets include:
- - GE produces annual benefits of over $2.5 billion across the organization from Six Sigma.
