In recent years, the IT sector has changed extensively. First of all, we can no longer do without technology. For example, just think about what your job would be like without the internet, e-mail, or computer. Or, would your job no longer exist? IT staff today are not only indispensable for keeping a company running, they also have to collaborate on innovation. ‘We are in the midst of a digital transformation’, companies say. Yet, they often do not know what this means. IT staff collaborate on the business side and thus must also have decent communication and creative skills.
Technology changes so rapidly today that training is constantly required. An IT employee’s knowledge at the time of graduation is out of date in a fairly short period of time. This is why they look for employers that can provide them with the right tools to continue to learn. To this end, companies prefer an IT employee with enough experience, someone that keeps up with the trends in their specialism.
