Bubble Talents with Cisco Are in a Dilemma
All the times, as to the training businessmen and students, one covets the huge profits of the IT training, the other dreams of the certifications like Cisco 640-721 and wants to become a member of the high-income group, which makes the training market hot in just a few years. Unfortunately, it seems to be a massive talent gap, so that both parties ignore the importance of the workplace as a personnel receiver.
“10 million salary” and “100% employment rate”. Such advertisements and concepts of manufacturers supported many students with enthusiasm to get the jobs. But the present fact told them that the workplace has become rigor gradually; meanwhile, large numbers of IT graduates are faced with severe job-hunting situation. Various firm certificates are pursued by “diploma” IT professionals and non-professionals. For example, considerable technicians with Cisco certificate can talk on and on in theoretical knowledge but have very insufficient practical capabilities of solving problems. The real qualified people for job field is few. The one who earns a certificate only for a qualification is the one most likely to be the foam talent.
In order to restrict the foam talent, we must rely on the trainers’ right understanding of IT trainning and their creation of more suitable courses and trainning way in accordance with the real requirement of an enterprise as well as the learner himself. That’s why enterprises are hungry for talents but undergraduates are complaining of the difficulty of employment all the time. In a job fair of IT major, a principal of a games network company inquiried college students who had certificates like Cisco CCNA but little practical experience about detailed work content as a metwork manager. His questions made these students speechless with open mouth. Let’s talk about the reason: although students have all kinds of certificates, such as Cisco CCNA it is not a real work; people with no practise is hard to pass.
In addition, the education of IT still faces another embarrassing situation that diploma education often gets away from the track of the industrial development. One can’t adapt to the enterprise working environment and technical environment which need to have 1-2 years of training period. Most companies need the people to work immediately which determines that the applicants must have two years of work experience at least. Under the situation of lack and loss of IT talents, it has aroused the expanding development of IT training. Thus, your Cisco certificate will be more valurable if you have some working experience as it represents that you are really familar with IT technology and grasp solid knowledge.
As for this point, personnel supervisors of some IT companies revealed the “bonus point factor” when they are selecting graduates. They suggested that students do university labs and some part-time community work, and these work may be poorly paid, but they are your future investment to do this. Besides in school, students should use their summer to do some internship work. Many enterprises have some short-term job opportunities which is good to accumulate experience and self-confidence, and interpersonal relationship.
It is certain that the certificates are popular, such as Cisco, IBM, Oracle, HP, etc.The Cisco 640-721 certificate and so on will still be fashionable in future no matter which certificate is more useful.
