Essential IT Courses

This COVID thing might be taking all the thinking we have. It looks like all the news, our friends and families, neighbors, publications, and even entertainment outlets are all talking about it.

But, on the flip side, most of us got the chance to have time for our families, to finish some tasks, but most importantly to have time for ourselves.

Journey to the Future

  • Have a clear idea about the future goal.
  • The current situation of COVID has shown businesses that they need to have an online presence more than ever during this time. Looking at what is going on, those businesses having only brick-and-mortar setups are the ones suffering a lot. So, the future is more on the online and contactless kind of interactions.

IT has been the backbone of businesses, communications, entertainment, transactions, transportation, and more. The more one is engaged with IT, the possibilities are enormous, even in such hard times.

Case in point, see who is still working in remote jobs these days. Those in relation to IT jobs are not only securing their jobs so far but also are working in a relatively safe environment for their health – from their home.

One can also do this and join the IT community and take a share in it. Students from all walks of life are making progress in their journey to IT and making a great life for themselves and their families.

What Courses Are Provided in This Session?

Practical IT has selected hand-picked courses that fit the following criteria:

  • No prior IT knowledge is required.
  • Market-oriented.
  • Well-paying.
  • Short-term.
  • Increasing in demand.

With this, we have identified the Web Development and Amazon Web Services courses as good candidates to be picked.

How Are the Courses Provided?

Students will be provided with course materials that are metered to be done each week. These materials include the course, assignments, worksheets, and reading materials.

  1. Weekly Meetings:
    • We will meet once a week initially, and more later as needed, to go over any questions, problems with assignments or worksheets, and core concepts that need to be revised.
  2. Daily Assignments and Mini Projects:
    • Students will work on daily assignments and periodic mini-projects to gain knowledge and expertise. These will be corrected, and feedback will be provided to help students learn from their mistakes.
  3. Study Groups:
    • Students will be engaged with study groups, allowing them to work on additional worksheets and improve problem-solving skills.

What Happens After the Class?

Once students are done with the IT courses, they will gain the skill – an important ingredient in landing a life-changing job. However, skill alone won’t cut it. One also needs exposure or "experience" to support the skill and make themselves a good candidate for the job.

Real-World Projects

After the class, students will work on real-world software projects solving specific problems. They will:

  • Learn to work in teams.
  • Use industry tools.
  • Meet deadlines and complete tasks.

These projects will galvanize their skill set and provide an opportunity to see what is going on in the IT world. This gives the second important ingredient – Experience.

Resume and Interview Preparation

After gaining skill and experience, we will work on:

  • Crafting a professional resume.
  • Preparing for interviews.

With these in place, students will be well-equipped to land their dream job.

Path to Success

The secret to success through IT courses is straightforward, yet it requires strict follow-up and discipline. Without it, the road to success might not be as near as we expect. This applies to everything, but for IT, it is especially important.

Steps to Success:

  1. Avoid discussions that don’t add value.
  2. Spend time improving communication skills – both writing and speaking. These are helpful during interviews.
  3. Get into the habit of reading one or two articles daily, especially in areas like technology, psychology, marketing, and business.
  4. Set aside time for self-improvement, whether it’s reading, exercising, or accomplishing tasks.
  5. Befriend those already in IT. They can provide guidance, mentorship, and job opportunities.
  6. Believe in success and avoid negative thinking or a scarcity mentality.
