I have a master's degree in healthcare administration with 6 years of supervisory/managerial experience. I am having a difficult time returning to the workforce after taking a year on a sabbatical. What will be the BEST certification to get that will make me more marketable? I want to focus on business/strategy more than managing people. Thanks in advance.

Project Management

Right now? Anything with at Data Analytics, especially as a woman, there are very few of us who do this.
Project management was hot a few years ago, it's not nearly as impressive as Data, Python, SQL, and Ai. Unless you're overseeing something that does with the previously mentioned topics.

Project management, Product Management or digital marketing are roles have openings and you can get in at many levels.
A lot of markets are saturated right now like tech roles cybersecurity, IT roles in general with the many layoffs. Things can turn around but right now I would focus on either Project or product management roles or marketing if you have an interests. I see a lot of new IT certifications holders very upset and can’t get in.
