The world around us is changing rapidly. Where ten years ago we thought that Excel knowledge was cutting edge, it now seems as basic as knowing how to answer a phone call. Companies are crying out for people who can read, understand and translate data into smart decisions. They are desperately looking for professionals who don’t panic when they hear terms like ‘machine learning’ or ‘cloud computing’. You could be that person! Even if you now think you have a thing for tech, the right training can open doors you didn’t even know existed. And that without having to go back to school years ago!
The market for Master IT training and certifications has grown enormously. Whether you dream of a complete career change or simply want to upgrade your current role with digital knowledge, there is always a route that suits you. Think of short, targeted courses of a few weeks that you can do next to your job. Or an intensive bootcamp that transforms you from tech novice to junior developer in three months. The great thing about these modern learning methods is that they are often practice-oriented, so that you do not drown in theory, but gain directly applicable skills.
Of course, you immediately think of a higher salary and that is certainly one of the benefits! But there is so much more. With tech and data skills, you suddenly become the person who can solve problems that others do not understand. You learn a new way of thinking that is valuable in any job. You become the one who knows how to automate a tedious repetitive process, for example, saving your team hours per week. Or you are the first to see that certain customer data shows an interesting trend that no one else had noticed. So you suddenly become the colleague that everyone runs to when they get stuck. That position not only offers job security, but also a lot of satisfaction.
"But I'm not technical at all!" Everyone who is successful in tech today has thought that at some point. The secret? Start small. Pick a topic that really interests you. The idea that you need years of programming experience before you can start a tech career is outdated. The sector is in great need of people who can connect different worlds, namely the technical and the human.
