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.
Digital transformation gained huge momentum last year. The pandemic required rapid decision-making and reaction from market players. One of the main requirements for companies is flexibility, and it has the utmost importance when it comes to temporary projects and the need to fill temporary staff shortages quickly.
In such cases, it is common for companies to recruit for specific hard skills, or even a whole team. The transfer of knowledge about the stack, framework, tools and platforms used by companies basically requires them to maintain an internal academy. This knowledge, however, can be perfectly integrated into external courses providing company-specific knowledge for junior professionals.
“A special and highly effective type of IT courses is when we organize a course with a company on a specific platform. In this case, the most significant advantage is that we aim at career-starters who want to work in that environment, with that specific platform. Before the courses, we work jointly with our development and HR colleagues to tailor the curriculum to the needs, whether it's a technology change, a new programming language or reskilling” explained Kristóf.
The methodology focuses on practice, and team members coming out of the course can immediately start working on a project. This makes the on-boarding of junior colleagues plannable and predictable.
“When a junior employee joins an organisation, they go through an on-boarding period of about 1–3 months, which is mainly about getting to know the systems. We can completely integrate this knowledge into our courses – both on technology and on a specific platform –, replacing thereby the internal on-boarding process”
continues Kristóf.
At the same time, it can be a competitive advantage for the company if, in addition to colleagues working in the development area, employees responsible for other areas, such as sales or marketing, also understand the process of digital product development. If possessing the right skills, they can even automate the no-code, low-code processes they know best. As a result, they can become one of the drivers of the company's digitalisation. The current level of the employees' knowledge and the relevant skills may vary even within a company and therefore require specific solutions.

Idén már kétféle kurzus közül választhatnak a jelentkezők: az IT rendszerek működésébe bevezető tananyag mellett már az egyik legnépszerűbb programozási nyelvvel is megismerkedhetnek a tanulni vágyó hölgyek. A Hello IT! for Women sikerének elismeréseként partnerünkkel, az INCO-val tovább bővítjük az együttműködést, és Csehországban is elindítjuk a programot.
Miért fontos, hogy növekedjen a nők szerepvállalása IT területen? Hogyan lehetne javítani a női munkavállalók arányát? Kinek való ez a szakma, és hogyan érdemes belevágni? Ezekről a témákról beszélgettünk Fachs Anitával, a Green Fox Academy magyarországi operációjának vezetőjével.
A fejlesztési igények és a technológiák gyors változása, a minőségi munkaerő hiánya, illetve az értékes szakmai tudással rendelkező kollégák megtartásának nehézsége világszerte komoly kihívások elé állítja a vállalatokat. Hogyan adható egyedi válasz egy globális problémára? Kinek a feladata kezelni ezt, és hogyan érdemes hozzáfogni? Ezeket a kérdéseket jártuk körül Fachs Anitával, a Green Fox vállalati szolgáltatásokért felelős cégvezetőjével.
A Green Fox mára erős nemzetközi vállalattá vált és regionális IT talent poolt épít. Nemzetközi képzéseket indítunk és országhatárokon átnyúló lehetőségeket biztosítunk hallgatóink, valamint vállalati partnereink számára. Csehországban és Szlovákiában piacvezető szerepből építkezünk tovább.
Az informatikai vállalatok esetében tapasztalt növekedési kényszer napjainkra a munkaerőpiacon érezteti hatását. A nők aktív bevonása az IT szektorba nem csupán a szakemberhiány enyhítésében játszhat kiemelkedő szerepet, de hozzájárulhat a sokszínűbb munkahelyi közösség kialakításához, serkentve a csapatmunkát és a produktivitást.
The benefits of low-code, or platform-based development are widely recognized by more and more companies, however, there are still many questions around the technology. That’s why we organized a roundtable session where we discussed the platform’s potentials, including the fact that low-code can be the perfect entry point to an IT career.
The low-code development platform market is expected to witness a notable annual growth rate of 31.3% during 2020–2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market revenue will reach $190,792.6 million by 2030. This trend has a significant impact on the job market as well, creating a huge demand for low-code developers. In order to provide a better understanding of low-code and the opportunities it creates, we organized a roundtable discussion. Check out the key insights that came out of the session.
