It has come to the end of the college entrance examination, IT (information technology) training has become an important way for many failed students to study and have jobs.
High tuition fees and low threshold
IT training ads flying around
Right now, IT training ads have been around the city streets, "One road sign out of a thousand meters, nine of IT out of ten education agencies", which is no exaggerated to describe the bustling IT training market in Wuhan.
Many IT training institutions also said that they signed a cooperation agreement with prestigious universities. Staff from Lu guang campus of a certain training institution introduced that, students in the school have the opportunity to study Science and Technology Education Network of Huazhong University, and if getting all credits, they can also access to the graduation card in network education of Central Science and Technology University.
Not high admission threshold, access to famous school's diploma and have jobs into the IT industry after studying, which start the dream of IT elite of many young people.
However, it cost so much to be IT elites. Yesterday, a training agency staff in South China said, the ACCP5.0 courses in his school takes three phases, tuition, textbook and research fees cost a total of 26 thousand yuan.
The huge profits of millions tuition fees brought by IT training attract many people to invest in the creation of training institutions. According to incomplete statistics, The number of IT training institutions, which only post enrollment information on Wuhan training online site, has been more than 200.
Hot field while cold employment
IT training results is not satisfactory
According to statistics, the software outsourcing enterprises in Wuhan are more than 70, with 4,000 employees.
In 2006, Wuhan has been identified as the "national service outsourcing base cities." According to the request by Ministry of Commerce, in the next five years, Wuhan software and services outsourcing will grow to 4.5 billion Yuan. The provincial government planning: to 2010, IT industry employees in Wuhan will reach 100,000 people.
The high market demand for IT (information technology) professionals leads thousands of students to the IT training road. As training institutions is growing, competition within the industry is more intense, "students come in this year is less than that in the same period of last year." As for the specific number, he said it is disclosed because of the fierce competition in IT education software industry,.
To expand enrollment, many IT training institutions raise the "employment card." Some claim in their enrollment ads to be "IT education institutions directly under the Beijing University", "Huang Pu Military Academy of China's IT education" and some claim themselves to be "100 percent rate for employment ", "graduates orientated enter the IT companies."
Is the employment situation as the ad says? Recently, students at Hankou named Fan complaints to us about an IT training institution: "I've graduated for one year, but the 100% employment it had promised has not yet fulfilled."
It has been nearly three courses, "now I just want to learn technology, and I still wonder whether I can find the ideal work."
For this, a person in charge of a software educational institution in Wuchang said, effected by the learning ability, personal qualities and so on, the development of students after graduation is not same, about 10% of the outstanding students can find good jobs
More Certificates, less contents
IT training market needs to be standardized
"After graduation, students can receive formal national certificated university qualifications, skills assessment certificate issued by the State Key Laboratory and qualification certificates issued by the State authorized departments." This is the commitment by a famous Wuhan University's IT Centre for vocational education to students.
It is not that important, a school in the Xiong Chu street claims to have 20 kinds, more than 100 international and domestic authorized certifications, including the United States Apple, the U.S. Cisco, the Ministry of Information Industry CEAC, labor and social security department OSTA.
Depending on different certifications, courses settings of each IT training agency are also varied. "Certificate does not mean that will work, a lot of students who have certificates is "good-looking but useless" when they move into the company." A personnel manager of a software company in the Optical valley sharply pointed out that, the actual content of IT certificate is not high.
Insiders remind that, now is at the peak of summer training, many small training institutions which are going pains, varied in teaching fees, have different teaching standard and misleading advertising to students may affect the credibility of the entire industry.
In this view, experts suggest that education, information, labor and employment, advertising and other authorities, should assume their respective regulatory functions in the IT training market and standardize Wuhan IT training market order, to foster a number of strong brand with strength, boost the market to healthy development.
