The Dream of my Life !

A Doorway into the IT Industry

The goal of Microsoft Students to Business (S2B) is to help tech grads transition into the IT Industry. Today, the program is more valuable than ever before, partly because our economic recovery won’t be as jobless as we once feared (check out this story from The Economist).

But the need for a resource like S2B also grew last March when the Computing Research Association (CRA) discovered that computer science enrollment had increased for the first time in six years. “The upward surge of student interest is real and bigger than anyone expected,” said Chair of the CRA Peter Lee. “The fact that computer science graduates usually find themselves in high-paying jobs accounts for part of the reversal. Increasingly students also are attracted to the intellectual depth and societal benefits of computing technology.”

    Interest in IT jobs had been dwindling since the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, but the appeal of tech positions seems to have rebounded. The CRA’s claim is based on the findings of its 39th annual Taulbee Survey, in which more than 190 universities participated. While we’ll have to wait a few more weeks to find out what this year’s results are, research suggests the news will be good.

IT Jobs in Demand, Certifications Count

Like most graduates, young people preparing to enter the IT job market face a catch-22: to be employable, you need experience. And to get experience, you need a job. The consequent frustration of these conditions is discouraging and often compounded by financial commitments such as student loans. But aspiring IT professionals have an advantage that most of their fellow job hunters don’t, in that they can prove their competence by getting certified.

 

  “For new college graduates, a certification in programming says, ‘I know about more than the theories and models we learned about in school,’” wrote Bart Perkins in a Computerworld article. “With so many job seekers to choose from, employers need to quickly identify those who have the skills they seek.”

  Perkins wasn’t exaggerating when he said the job market is brimming with candidates. Last year, CareerBuilder reported a large percentage of companies receive more than 75 resumes for each of their open positions. Moreover, the website had nearly 26 million unique visitors in just one month - the highest in company history.

  In addition to helping employers triage the many resumes they receive, Perkins says certifications demonstrate an individual’s desire to remain current in a field that’s always changing. No wonder they’ve become so popular recently. Since 2005, the number of certified IT pros has doubled and Microsoft has added 40 certifications to its offering, according to Perkins. “For me, the question isn’t whether you should get a certification; it’s which certification you should pursue.”

  Think Microsoft certifications give inexperienced job hunters a better shot at finding work?

Young Entrepreneurs Thrive in IT Industry

The IT industry has always been a breeding ground for innovation. Old technologies are reinvented and new ones are regularly released, making IT more valuable to more people. The tech biz has limitless potential when it comes to innovation, and that’s why it attracts young people. From the 1970s when a student founded Microsoft up until today, there’s always been room for the innovation of the student entrepreneur.

Fast Company recently profiled young brothers Jimmy, Luke, and Mark Dickinson, for instance. Together, the Dickinsons developed a web-based education application that allows multiple students to learn using a single computer. And there are also the students of the B.V. Bhoomaraddi College of Engineering & Technology in Hubli, Karnataka, India. They worked with the USHAS Center for Exceptional Children to develop activities for handicapped kids, reports IEEE. The Walking Tutor and Chitra Vallari are modules that help children get physical and cognitive exercise.

In any business and in any country, students are in the forefront of today's innovators – technology and otherwise.
