IT professionals are constantly facing new challenges. You need to have hands-on knowledge of emerging technologies. You need to keep your skills updated with mega trends in database, storage, and cloud and app development says Peter Decaprio.
But how do you achieve that? How do you ensure that you are always on top of things? The answer lies in Annual Core Competency Training.
Here are the top 5 benefits of attending an annual training:
1. Hands-on experience:
You get to actually use and understand the latest tools and technologies that you might not normally get to try out. You will be able to deepen your understanding by putting those tools through their paces in a comprehensive lab environment under the trainer’s guidance.
2. Keep your knowledge current:
New stuff is coming out every day like containers, micro services, serverless architecture, cloud automation frameworks such as Terraform, Vagrant etc., there is just too much for one person to know all this stuff well enough to stay relevant in today’s job market. These courses give you an opportunity to learn about new stuff that is coming out before they become mainstream.
3. Skill up your team:
Attending these advanced training courses also puts you in the position to mentor people who are joining your company or working with you on a project says Peter Decaprio. You can act as their guide and show them the best practices at the same time sharing knowledge about how things work – good habits to have, tools to use etc., this benefits both you and your colleagues because you will always learn something new from them too!
4. Have a richer resume:
It makes a lot of sense for IT professionals to invest in themselves by going through an Annual Training course. Such courses reflect positively on your resume and this gives job seekers a competitive edge over others who don’t have such training on their resumes.
5. Enhance your knowledge:
Most IT professionals forget about the learning aspect of their job after they get certified for a technology. There is no point in having certifications if you don’t keep yourself updated with new stuff that has come out since the certification exam was written. Annual Core Competency Training ensures that you are always aware of trends and developments in various disciplines, which allows you to offer better advice to your clients!
It helps build your confidence too when it comes to discussing technical issues with peers or superiors because you can speak authoritatively about what is happening in the market right now.
