On the one hand, the system of education and retraining that has developed in Ukraine is usually criticized for being cut off from the real world and seemingly useless. On the other hand, we have the richest choice of courses and trainings that are now available face-to-face or online and are either developed in Ukraine or available online on the websites of leading universities or training platforms.
Take, for example, the field of information technology in a broad sense: not only programming and development, but also classical Windows / Unix administration, building complex heterogeneous infrastructures, deploying clouds, and applying IT in the life of all citizens.
From a technical specialist, in addition to mastering his field, knowledge of many related areas is required (at least to understand his area of responsibility, although the ability to integrate different products and solve global problems is much more in demand).
A non-technical employee or manager , if he is going to compete in the labor market with the same job seekers or robots / automation programs, must have a number of skills at the level of a professional user, at least office products (Excel, Project, etc.) mind is the work, and not the creation of its visibility, knowledge of the possibilities and limitations, the ability to quickly understand a new version or a similar software package amazon solutions architect salary.
An official , in the light of the general course towards reforming the sphere of public administration and organizations like housing and communal services, must deal with electronic document management, registers, portals, learn English and prepare for competitive selection for positions.
A citizen of any age will also not be able to do without a basic set of IT knowledge: working with the OSMB portal / school / university website, enrolling in electronic queues, paying for goods and services, registering and using electronic documents, managing personal finances and self-organization.
All this requires knowledge and skills that most of them did not even hear about 20 years ago.
Many of these people at one time spent about 15 years studying at a school / university, then worked in their chosen field for 10, 20, perhaps 40 years, and now they suddenly find that their skills are beginning to be lacking even at the everyday level. Some of them try to get the missing knowledge in online courses, but they rarely complete them. Self-education attempts usually end even faster, at the stage of drawing up a plan and choosing the correct sequence for mastering knowledge.
An additional nail in the coffin of intellectual development drives a business that often needs either already established specialists or people who can google / quickly solve an arisen problem here and now, even if the side effects from a quick solution are guaranteed to come out in the future.
TC Network Technologies, authorized and copyright trainings
One of the first organizations in Ukraine that has been offering such training services for 20 years is the TechExpert Training Center “Network Technologies” under the leadership of Tatiana Shtompel.
“Why do you keep doing this? Aren't you afraid that at some point the same will happen to classic fundamental courses as to paper books or photographic film - new formats and available tools will appear that will very quickly squeeze out existing players? Given that this is already happening, for example, in the form of e-courses. ”
TS: “We have read and will continue to read! An online course must be a quality product, and it’s not enough just to post a video on the Internet. At a minimum, it should be created by a smart and charming practitioner. In addition, there are a lot of courses for which, due to the specifics of the technologies and equipment used, it is very difficult to create an online course in a mass format, but training is still required. We are mastering distance formats, developing a portal for training / testing, but so far nothing has been able to replace live communication. Plus, for many of our students, only the classroom format allows them to focus on the subject being mastered. "
Over 20 years of work in the Training Center, more than 45 thousand students have been trained and certified, many of whom have helped to reach the heights of career growth, and now they themselves send their subordinates to new courses, because they know that training an employee leads not only to the growth of his personal productivity, but also allows you to quickly come to the desired result for his entire department or even the entire company (for example, due to the fact that other people do not have to work to eliminate the consequences of his ignorance).
- What will we do if we train them and they go to another employer?
- And what will we do if we do not train them, and they stay?
Business joke
The Training Center believes that learning needs a balance between the classical university approach (the availability of a program, materials, certification of the center and teachers, regulations and other elements that have proven their value) and an individual approach to students and the task at hand (you need to choose a suitable course, conduct a pre-training diagnostics, sometimes even listen to the formulation of the problem from the business / TOP and offer its solution in the required skills of the staff). With this approach, the training center bears responsibility for the result not only of the training itself, but also of its application in practice.
TC Network Technologies team in partnership with NATO
Social responsibility
In this regard, the TC is especially proud of the training of civil servants in the framework of various NATO and EU initiatives, the purpose of which is professional training followed by the introduction of critical reforms.
In addition to civil servants who directly influence our present and future, Network Technologies introduces the world of IT to schoolchildren who are already growing up in the world of information technology, mastering it almost intuitively.
In addition, after a summer series of cyber attacks, Network Technologies prepared and released a series of security webinars to the public.
