Learning Gaps/Profit/And Accessibility
Considering shifts in the markets, the rise of AI, automation, and pretty soon the ramping up of robotics. Not to mention bigger and bigger cyber attacks. There is most likely going to be an even bigger tidal wave of people wanting to get into IT. Unfortunately learning the material can be difficult. I have checked MIS/CIS degree plans, CS degree plans for Universities, Colleges, Vocational Schools, even some online schools and you can tell they are just not covering what needs to be covered. I would go further to say a true IT Degree would be to merge CS and MIS and make sure there are actual classes on SCCM/Endpoint, Batch, PowerShell, Administrations Recently after the summer 2023 cyberattack on Office 365. Microsoft decided to free up resources. Why? Well the paywall being there was actually in itself a security concern. And due to the cyber attack the paywall was removed. Resources were freed up Why isn't this happening for Education? The harder we make it for people to learn tech. The less we will have in the field. Less security awareness, etc. Imo, Microsoft and other industry leaders have a opportunity here. Why not have freely available barebones learning versions of major software? Windows Server, SQL Server, Office 365, Azure, Intune, etc.? Cisco is doing great with Cisco Packet Tracer for example. Imagine releasing them as freely available web program or vms? This way the lab work part of learning IT can be easier...? *I know evals exist, but having a version that never expires would be greatExpired Certifications
Hi Microsoft, Even for basic entry level I.T. jobs companies are asking for quantifiable qualifications such as certifications for Azure AD, Office 365, Microsoft Office, Active Directory, Windows 11, Microsoft Intune, Batch Scripting, PowerShell Scripting, Azure AD scripting, etc. Unfortunately with a lot of certs being retired in the last few years. It is becoming difficult to even navigate these entry level roles even with a Bachelor's Degree in a tech related field. And also YouTube videos or almost begging to be included in new implementations to gain exposure within a persons current company is getting even more difficult. Would it be possible to create a filter or outright remove expired certs from the browse certifications page? In addition to that is their a plan to speed up the creation of newer versions of certifications when it comes to more beginner and fundamental level certs? Companies are desperate for employees and it is getting more and more difficult to prove skills to the HR departments and heads of IT departments. Thank you,
