I'm posting this here mostly because I'm a regional pilot and maybe regional airlines are where dispatchers start too. I know nothing about dispatcher training, career progression or the job market. I'm hoping someone here does.

What would be an efficient way for someone in Springfield, IL to get a certificate? How is the job market? I know so little about this, I don't even know what to ask.
