The IT profession is a profession that has been in high demand for a long time and in which there is always work. But what do you actually do as an ICT professional and which training is best for you? We will explain all that to you in this blog.
You have various options for retraining to become an ICT professional. This is possible at both MBO and HBO level. Most people have completed the HBO ICT training. Even if you have already completed another study, you can retrain to become an ICT professional. For this you have to follow a number of courses and you will receive a certificate for this. When you have completed a training or course, you can look at various job websites. Here you can filter by education and system administrator vacancies come by.
In addition, you can check on the website in which profession the most vacancies are available. This shows that ICT professions are well at the top and that most vacancies are open for them. But due to the impending shortage of IT professionals, many companies cannot find the right staff and have to hire external parties to fulfill these tasks. But what are the benefits of this?
outsource
By outsourcing the system administration, it ensures that the external parties only have access to the minimum of your company. They only do the activities of the local area and this area includes switches, routers, servers and computers. Among other things, they must ensure that everyone has an up-to-date version of all computers and that they can provide support if there are problems. By giving a third party access to your network, some aspects can be slowed down, because they don’t work at the company and are therefore not in the office, so everything has to go online. Also, the costs are high and some companies can go bankrupt. An advantage of outsourcing is that you no longer have to stress about finding staff, because they take care of that and so more time and energy can be spent on the core activities.
Because there is an imminent shortage of ICT professionals and despite the fact that many people are undergoing retraining, they cannot rectify this shortage. There are external companies that you can approach as a company to take over the IT tasks from you, but this has both advantages and disadvantages. What do you choose?
