RFID+ to Launch Next Week

After more than a year of development, the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) announced it will release its RFID+ certification next week. CompTIA commenced development of the credential in response to demand among its member organizations for a reliable indicator of professional skill with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, and that need has only grown, said David Sommer, CompTIA vice president of electronic commerce. “We see a real looming shortage of people skilled in RFID technology,” he said. “We performed a survey in the January-February time frame that showed that 75 percent of our membership believes there isn’t a sufficient pool of talent in RFID technology. We are serving a purpose by providing foundational, baseline knowledge for people to measure themselves against. It will help the industry address the lack of a sufficient pool of talent. It’s going to be attractive to individuals to get certified in this technology because the market will be there for people knowledgeable in this technology.”
