The job market for such graduates has never been better. It is estimated that,   “eMarketer Magazine” estimates that almost 9 million U.S. households have shopped online and that number should rise to more than 40 million by 2003. The magazine also estimates that North America now accounts for 71 percent of all online trade, and that worldwide, business-to-business e-commerce will reach $2.7 trillion by 2004. “The hottest new careers worldwide are in web design and e-commerce,” said Dr. Diane Garsombke, dean of the Brenau School of Businesses and mass Communication.

The Brenau/TechNet program will bridge the gap between certification and a college degree.  J. Whitted, TechNet's director of training, says prospective students often ask, which is better, a college degree or certification. “Marrying the two only makes good business sense.  It allows the student not only to obtain theoretical knowledge but also gives first hand experience and skills in real world applications.
