You work in an IT organization and your boss has suggested that you work towards a certification in your field . The boss (the CIO) has asked you to provide her with details of the certification, how much it will cost, and how the company will benefit from you having this certification.
Write a memo to your boss, Jane Provest, Chief Information Officer (CIO), providing her with the necessary information, assuming that the company will pay for reasonable expenses.
Your request must be as a formal memo to the CIO with a copy to Human Resources (Jaleel Johnston) and must cover:
- The details of the certification with a link to the official website. If there are multiple levels of certification, choose the lowest level
- A description of how you would prepare for the certification, how long would it take and any associated costs (books, training, etc.)
- A discussion of the type of certification exam, where it is taken, and how much it will cost
- A description of the benefits of you being certified to the IT organization
- An estimate of the total expenses to be incurred and a request for the company to cover these expenses
