Global Knowledge underlines the importance of IT Skills Training

Employees see IT certification as a way of improving their career prospects while learning about the latest technologies. Another IDC report in 2005 found that 70% of IT managers surveyed felt IT certification made employees more productive and increased their effectiveness in the implementation of new products and technologies. 

According to Steven Purcell, “Global Knowledge has seen an increase in the demand for both certified and customised IT Training in the past 12 months. Most of this demand is in the areas of new and emerging technologies, such as Cisco’s Voice and Data Convergence, IT Security, Microsoft Server 2003, Unix and Professional Skills. 

The importance of Irish organisations having the right skills in this area is imperative considering the competitive pressures from emerging economies of the EU accession states and Asia”.

As Ireland moves towards a leading knowledge based economy, more personnel will need to have the skill sets required to keep us competitive in the years ahead”

According to Steven Purcell, Country Sales Manager, “IT Technical training has taken on additional importance in the light of the recent findings of an IDC Report, which stated that Ireland is facing a Technical IT skills shortage of over 7,000 people by 2008.

“As IT certification programmes and training have become increasingly significant for organisations to meet their IT needs, these recent findings have focussed IT & HR Managers in ensuring that their staff are competent and have the necessary skills to mange their internal networks and IT systems”
