education is the main tool that any professional can afford to grow in their career and in their interpersonal relationships. Knowledge is something acquired for the rest of life, it is always incremented and responsible for innovation in various sectors, especially technology.
When we understand the importance of being up to date with market and prepare for this, that is, in a way, “doors open”. However, qualify and follow a steady and fast technological change are the main challenges for professionals, or future IT professionals.
Certainly a professional formed five years ago is working with some technology that was not part of the curriculum of the IT course, or even the practical classes in laboratories. Some examples are: DevOps and Cloud Computing (OpenStack), who lead the lists of demands and that in common have the characteristics of being developed in communities Open Source .
the positive side of this technological evolution is the number of opportunities generated is proportional to the challenges of professional development. Recently the Linux Foundation, which is a consortium of companies working to promote the operating system development Linux and the Open Source philosophy, published a study which shows the professional profiles most sought after by human resources managers of IT companies.
Among the results highlight that 87% of companies are struggling to find professionals who know Open Source technologies, 51% of companies are looking for professionals with expertise in cloud computing technology and 58% seek professionals who know DevOps .
As shown in the previous article, “The importance of updated technology,” the most sought option for IT professionals to stay up to date with market demands is conducting courses and certifications in these emerging technologies .
However, for students and teachers of technology courses in educational institutions, the main initiative is the adoption of academic programs to be taught alongside the scientific curriculum, which is defined and approved by MEC. Thus, integrating theoretical / scientific and practical knowledge.
We know that there are several companies that currently have academic programs in order to advertise your brand within a university, building laboratories or by providing their software. But I believe that a company aware of its role in society should in fact encourage the technical and professional growth of the students and teachers, promoting critical thinking, innovation and, above all, collaboration.
Red Hat, whose DNA of the company is innovation based on collaborative work and the exchange of knowledge, gave this kickoff, promoting courses in partnership with universities to contribute to the students’ training process and prepare them for the new demands of the market.
With this thought, focused on content, Red global Hat created a program called Red Hat Academy, providing lectures, webinars and content (handouts, installers and laboratories) for courses of Cloud Computing, development software, administration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss EAP administration. Thus, providing content to teachers who can be adopted in both subjects of the curriculum and in extra curricular courses
And here’s the good news:. The program is expanding in Latin America. According Wellington Lopes, Business Development Manager of Red Hat, there is a local restructuring and have already started contacts with several universities in the region. This is a great opportunity to harness student education to the vast community open source .
