“It is disturbing that young men and women choose their dream career based on a short traditional list of teachers, lawyers and managers,” explains Andreas Schleicher, Director the OECD Education Department. “Many of them seem to ignore that there are new professional opportunities that have arisen with digitalisation.” One of these professions is the cloud platform engineer or the cloud system administrator.
In 2020, the cloud proved to be the best ally to rapidly and effectively the situation of enormous fragility the social and economic system underwent due to the pandemic, completely changing the dynamics of the Italian market that grew to 3.34 billion euro with a 21% growth [Cloud Transformation Observatory - School of Management, Politecnico di Milano].
Thus, as part of Project Ambizione Italia for Youth giovani, we have organised a short free training programme on the cloud. The course will be held the last week of August with three 1.5-hour lessons that can be attended from anywhere to learn about new educational and professional opportunities.
The course, entitled “Professions of the Future: Cloud System Orientation,” will look at one of the currently most needed professions in the world of IT, the cloud platform engineer. The course will look at hardware on which cloud systems are created to understand the communication mechanisms between the Internet and machines. The final module will provide recommendations for job interviews. The programme is open to anyone who is interested in computer science and requires no specific prior technical knowledge.
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale may communicate the names of the best participants to the Experis Academy on Cloud Platform Engineer beginning on September 20.
