For organisation CA-ICT, we have developed a monitor to assess the sustainable employability of ICT professionals. This reveals various findings, trends, and developments.
The overall health of ICT professionals, their ability to adapt, level of self-regulation, and motivation show a positive picture. In terms of technical and social knowledge and skills, there are some areas in which ICT professionals experience a shortage to carry out their work (partly due to the fast pace of developments in the ICT sector). ICT professionals can easily meet the psychological and mental demands of their work. They deal with few occupational diseases, have sufficient opportunities in the internal and external job market, and are generally satisfied with their work.
Despite the COVID-19 crisis, ICT professionals still feel motivated, with most of them managing to set up a good home workspace and bring structure to their day. However, ICT professionals seem to struggle with changes in the social work environment, such as communicating through different channels and the lack of personal contact. This leads to reduced job satisfaction for some ICT professionals. A potential positive effect of the COVID-19 crisis is increased motivation as the importance of the work of ICT professionals has been further emphasized due to the increased reliance on digital systems.
Regarding the demand for skills in ICT roles, various developments can be observed. On the one hand, there is a lot of dynamism with many emerging skills related to developing applications around data, scalable services, and developing applications for end users. On the other hand, there is also a lot of stability, as many skills have taken up a significant and stable position over the years. These include certifications, networking skills, software development skills, the use of business software like SAP, database management, and testing.
