Students in Computer Network & # 8211; The practice door is too narrow
The network is the backbone of a company. Therefore, no enterprise dares to assign network management position to new graduates without in-depth knowledge and experience ..
In the past, most students of IT Faculty chose to program, but less choice of network direction. In the last few years, the network industry is becoming hot and students studying this industry are quite large, no less than the programming industry. However, in general, job opportunities for network students are less than programming. It sounds ridiculous. Going through the job site, you will see the need to recruit network personnel very much. That's obvious because every company has a network and needs a network administrator. Therefore, it must be said that employment opportunities in this industry are numerous. However, that opportunity is not for network graduates. Just reading the requirements of the vacancies has been "dizzy". Which is a long list of required certificates, work experience, working skills, proficient knowledge of some of the knowledge that is relevant to your business, especially when you always see the words " Must have at least 1-2 years of experience ”.
The problem lies in the fact that, in order to meet the above requirements, students must learn, practice more in-depth knowledge and practice smoothly on real devices through internships. business school.
FIND THE PRACTICE: MORE THAN THE SKY
It can be seen, few companies have a large-scale and methodical internship program for software companies like software companies. It has been said that giving students internship is an enterprise that only shakes their head with a familiar saying, " Who dares to deliver the network to inexperienced people ". It is no coincidence that businesses are so bored. In the past, there were also some businesses for network students to practice but after a period of "dabbling" the network, students had serious consequences.
Not only employers, even vocational training centers, where there are more hours of practice than theoretical lessons, must also send many people to closely supervise the process of practicing on students' real equipment. According to representatives of VnPro training center, network equipment is very expensive, if neglecting to let students ruin, how high tuition fees cannot be compensated.
Not all students have the financial ability to pursue international certificates. SaigonCTT Institute of Technology – SaigonCTT is a very hard-working organization offering internship programs and scholarships for students to support studious students. Thereby, students will have access to new technologies and have the opportunity to "touch" their hands on real equipment, under the guidance of skilled teachers. But in order to get the chance to get a scholarship or to practice, students must go through an entrance exam or an interview. Although the test is not difficult, but students who study seriously can pass.
GO FROM BELOW
The only direction for IT students in general and the network in particular is from low to high, persevering to overcome every disadvantage of a newly graduated student.
According to Mr. Nguyen Viet Thanh, Marketing Manager of Edufirst Training Center and also a person with long experience in recruiting employees for businesses, students have the strength of a solid foundation, helping students can access new technology easily and self-study and research. This is the decisive factor for future career development. Besides studying in a collective environment, students will develop soft skills. If equipped with knowledge from vocational training schools, students will practice with practical models and projects, making them not surprised when working at enterprises. In addition, the training programs at the centers help students stay close to what businesses need, thereby improving their ability to find jobs after graduation. For network majors, there are some training programs that meet the requirements of employers as follows: CCNA, MCITPc2008, Exchange 2k7 / 2k10, TMG 2k10, Linux Network Aministration …
Also agreeing with the above opinion, Mr. Nguyen Trung Dung, head of the IT Department of Quang Trung Middle School, said in the field of computer networks, colleges and universities are often not equipped with network equipment systems. modern, students cannot access and practice on the real network. Therefore, students still have to "swim" to find an internship. In addition to practicing at vocational centers, Dung added that students should still find internships at businesses. Not all students who study international IT certification in network administration are also capable of managing the network of a medium-sized company. Normally students have to go to practice for about 3 months. During that time, students must rub against the actual network environment, learn how to self-control the network system, how to document governance, zoning and troubleshooting, backup systems … under the guidance of the good network administrator of the company. Internship is also an opportunity for students to apply what they have learned in practice, helping them to "work up" quickly.
CHOOSE FITNESS WORK
Saying that does not mean the business ignores the object of being a new graduate student. According to Mr. Nguyen Viet Thanh, depending on the job position, businesses need experienced candidates or not. For positions such as IT Support or network infrastructure deployment, businesses often do not require rigorous work experience, just need candidates to meet the requirements set out well, because the jobs are in position. This position only includes support for users (employees) in the use of computers and other devices such as network wires, email, etc. In the position of system administrator, server, experience required is placed on Top.
Some small and medium-sized companies with a small number of computers only need to hire skilled network administrators to do tasks such as administration, computer network development, maintaining good computer operation, maintenance and upgrading. intranet, internet, computers, office machines, software installation, troubleshooting problems occurring during network operations such as antivirus, database security … Or if you have a say and entrepreneurship, you can practice in the position of sales staff, technical consultant …
