IT computer repair graduates are not up to the standards that employer would like to see, according to an article from CIO.com. There are many fields of IT that need to train for that many students are not aware of. The article has some great points about how to improve your computer repair skills. Check it out.
Employers agree that colleges and universities need to provide their students with the essential skills required to run IT departments, yet only 8% of hiring managers would rate IT graduates hired as “well-trained, ready-to-go,” according to a survey of 376 organizations that are members of the IBM (IBM) user group Share and Database Trends and Applications subscribers.
The study found nearly 4 out of 10 respondents report that their IT hires are not sufficiently prepared to perform jobs within their companies, and another 44% say, at a minimum, that there are noticeable gaps in their skills.
The report indicates that organizations are ready to hire, with employers reporting they are seeking the following skills from higher-education institutions:
– 77% want schools to provide programming skills
– 82% seek database skills
– 76% would like schools to provide analysis and architectural skills
– 80% seek problem solving and technical skills
This skills gap apparently doesn’t doesn’t stop organizations from hiring professionals with little, if any previous experience. The survey found that nearly half of companies responding to the survey hire new IT employees straight out of school. Two-thirds of organizations do require at least some college internship experience among their hires, according to the study.
