Besides challenges, the changes in the industry brought about by technological trends also present opportunities for companies to increase their revenue streams. However, if they want to stay ahead, organisations must keep pace with evolving technology, and their employees must have the necessary skills.
Technology affects each department in the company, from HR to marketing, from customer service to finance. If a company does not take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalisation, it may lose its competitive edge. Meanwhile, the retention of employees with valuable professional skills is a huge challenge all over the world. Skilled employees might be the main drivers of innovation, automation and digitalisation, so companies cannot afford to delay.
But the current digital skills and roles of employees may vary widely. At this point a corporate bootcamp can both provide tailored training for the existing workforce and support the recruitment of new employees (even a higher number of them) with the proper IT skills.
“Due to the significant labour shortage in the IT market, attracting and retaining talents is one of the key factors. And training is playing an increasingly important role here. A course tailored specifically to a company's needs guarantees not only a unique knowledge base but also a team ready to join a project immediately”
explains Anita Fachs, the managing director in charge of corporate services at Green Fox.
IT challenges often require complex, cross-cutting knowledge. If you want to fill such vacancies, a course with a corporate partner is a highly effective and targeted solution. In addition to a customised syllabus, certain parameters may be defined at the announcement of the course and during the recruitment process to accelerate the search for qualified applicants. Moreover, the corporate partner is actively present during the course. This gives them the opportunity to get to know the students while their own capacities are not used up by the training and mentoring of new professionals.
Lufthansa Systems Hungária wanted to renew its internal programme with a more practical educational model. The IT Young Professional programme was launched specifically for IT professionals at the beginning of their careers. Then the programme has been further developed by Green Fox experts with an agile approach and a mentor-based methodology to meet the needs of the company.
With this renewed programme, the company may offer a course to its potential employees where:
Research proved there is a direct link between company training and employees' commitment. The training or retraining of existing colleagues clearly shows the company's commitment to retaining their loyal and valuable employees and also helps to reduce turnover. This is why it is worth treating employee training as a business investment that supports profitability over the years and has well-defined performance indicators. However, it is essential to know the exact business needs and to design a training programme that best fits them.

Folyamatosan fejlődő világunkban akár napról napra változhat, hogy éppen milyen IT technológiákat és szakembereket keresnek a cégek. A könnyebb eligazodáshoz ezúttal a digitális piac alakítóit hívtuk segítségül, akik a szoftverfejlesztés új trendjeit vették górcső alá. Milyen területen érdemes elindulni, ha valaki már egy ideje szemezik a programozással? Kik is pontosan a jövő IT szakemberei? Idei első meetupunkon ezekre a kérdésekre kerestük a választ vendégeinkkel!
A digitalizáció az egész életünket átszövi: önkiszolgáló pénztárnál fizetünk a boltban, mobiljegyet váltunk a buszra, online nyújtjuk be az adóbevallásunkat, vagy éppen e-receptet iratunk az orvosnál. A munkaköröket is teljesen átalakítja: a Világgazdasági Fórum előrejelzése szerint 2022-re 133 millió új állás jöhet létre és 75 millió szűnhet meg. Egyre kevésbé igaz, hogy csak az informatikusoknak kell az informatikához értenie, legalábbis alapszinten nem.
„AI nyelvi modellként nem vagyok képes arra, hogy bárkinek is elvegyem a munkáját. Célom, hogy segítsem a felhasználókat természetes nyelvi válaszok generálásában a lekérdezéseikre, segítve bizonyos feladatok hatékonyabbá és eredményesebbé tételét” - ChatGPT arról, hogy elveszi-e a programozók munkáját.
Az informatikai szektort érintő szakemberhiány a munkaerőpiac egyik legnagyobb kihívásává nőtte ki magát. Ebben a helyzetben egyre nagyobb jelentőséget kapnak a speciálisan vállalatra szabott megoldások. A corporate bootcamp kifejezetten a cég igényei alapján kidolgozott képzés, ami akár azonnal projektre állítható szakembereket biztosít. A gyakorlati működést és előnyöket a Lufthansa Systems Hungáriával kialakított együttműködésünkön keresztül mutatjuk be.
In our latest series of articles, we aim to introduce those IT career paths that allow us to remain marketable and acquire long-term future-proof knowledge on the labor market. Our next stop is DevOps. According to the estimates of the largest analytical companies, the market of DevOps-based tools is growing from 3.42 billion in 2018 to 15 billion dollars by 2026. Simultaneously, there is a growing demand for DevOps specialists in the market as well, that is why we will introduce this career path more in depth.
The demand for tailor-made software has perhaps never been higher. There is now an app for almost everything, for any aspect of our personal or professional life. Yet, companies and users are always looking for more and more, and new ideas are being created and implemented.
It is still worth learning programming: our latest alumni survey revealed that the average salary of those who enter the field as career changers exceeds HUF 1.2 million gross per month after 3 years. After three years, promotion is almost guaranteed, and nine out of ten programmers who have completed the bootcamp already work in at least medior position.
The pressure for growth experienced by IT companies is now having an impact on the labour market. The active involvement of women in the IT sector can not only play an important role in alleviating skills shortages; it can also contribute to the development of a more diverse workplace, stimulating teamwork and productivity.
One of the biggest obstacles to business growth is the lack of suitable IT professionals. Specific courses that are tailored to the needs of companies do not only make the recruitment process more efficient but also reduce learning time significantly while also boosting employee motivation. The chief executive officer of Green Fox Academy, Kristóf Bárdos shares his experiences on the practical benefits of the courses.
