For the foundation CA-ICT, we have developed a monitor to assess the sustainable employability of ICT professionals. Among other things, the following findings, trends, and developments emerge.
The overall health of ICT professionals, their ability to adapt, level of self-regulation, and motivation present a positive picture. In terms of technical and social knowledge and skills, there are some areas where ICT professionals experience shortages to perform their work (due to the rapid pace of developments in the ICT sector). ICT professionals can easily meet the psychological and mental demands of their work. They have little exposure to occupational diseases, have sufficient opportunities in the internal and external job markets, and are generally satisfied with their work.
Despite the COVID-19 crisis, ICT professionals still feel motivated and most succeed in setting up a good home workspace and structuring 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 possible 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 positions, 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 creating applications for end users. On the other hand, there is also a lot of stability, as many skills have taken a prominent and stable position over the years. These include certifications, network skills, software development skills, the use of business software like SAP, database management, and testing.
