The reality is that IT departments today are focused on reducing costs and are not expanding. However, Cloud Technologists are in great demand and this is a trend that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Recently, New York Times columnist Tom Friedman made an interesting point about the prospects for our economy going forward. He noted that Cloud computing is driving new growth and opportunities for a variety of businesses and entrepreneurs.
Technology is one of the specialties currently in highest demand and will remain in demand in the near future, says career expert Laurence Shatkin. The Department of Labor notes similar findings, with several careers in the computer and information science field projected to grow 20 percent or more between 2010 and 2018. Cloud computing is expected to be the largest part of this growth trend.
In partnership with the New Jersey Institute of Technology, the NCTA was launched to provide professional designations and certification for the Cloud MASTER and Cloud GURU Certificate programs.
These advanced learning programs were designed to provide information technology professionals with the skills and knowledge to participate in the administration, management and maintenance of Cloud operations within their companies, agencies or departments. The rapidly growing demand for experienced cloud technologists is fueling increased competition for their talents.
Successfully harvesting the potential of the cloud requires a clear view of the opportunities and solutions that will take you beyond your current horizons and provide the ability to closely align cloud functionality with what businesses need.
The NCTA is focused on creating highly trained specialists who will be hired by businesses and non-profit organizations to navigate them into the Cloud. The NCTA Cloud Master certification is a rigorous, hands-on program for IT specialists. Certified Cloud Gurus will be trusted advisers to top management and an enabler for the team that delivers cloud solutions.
The courses are offered through NCTA Authorized Training Partners - Universities and colleges in your neighborhood that already offer courses in programming and are creating innovative training centers for the 21st century.
