    I also do not have any Six Sigma Belt Certifications as my only knowledge of it is from this course, a quality course from my undergraduate, and a Manufacturing course I am currently taking. I do have a colleague that graduated as a Mechanical Engineer, and just got the job title as a “Process Engineer.” I’m not sure for what company, however I do remember speaking with him and he said that the company is requiring for him to pass a specific Six Sigma Belt Certification within a year, otherwise they would rescind his employment from the company. This was just a casual conversation, and I’m not sure if these terms were as drastic as they sound. However, from my understanding from classes I’ve taken over my time at NJIT, it seems any proficiency in six sigma would lead to many jobs heaving to deal with quality. I also know there are many different levels of six sigma, such as the yellow belt, green belt as you stated, and the black belt for example. I would assume the higher tier, would lead to more experienced job positions in quality and manufacturing. The way I see it is having either a lower tier belt such as the yellow belt or green belt is a definite plus, especially for most of us just recently graduated with little to no job experience. Your resume will definitely stand out to employers as having some proficiency or understanding of six sigma will look good. Having that coupled with a degree gives you leg up in your competition.
