I see certificates for project management, data analytics, bookkeeping and IT support. Are they useful, or do employers ignore them?

Pair certificates with projects. Employers want proof you can apply what you learned, not just finish a course.

Certificates are useful when they fill a clear gap. Random certificates with no job target do not do much.

In IT, certificates can help if they match entry-level roles and you also practice skills. A certificate alone does not replace ability.
