For foundation CA-ICT, we have developed a monitor to assess the sustainable employability of ICT professionals. This reveals, among other things, the following findings, trends, and developments.
The overall health of ICT professionals, their ability to adapt, level of self-regulation, and motivation show a positive image. Regarding technical and social knowledge and skills, there are some areas where ICT professionals experience shortages in performing their work (partly due to the speed 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, 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 and most of them manage to set up a good home workplace and structure 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 among some ICT professionals. A potential positive effect of the COVID-19 crisis is increased motivation due to the heightened significance of the work of ICT professionals as a result of the stronger dependence on digital systems.
Concerning the demand for skills in ICT roles, various developments can be observed. On one hand, there is a lot of dynamism with many emerging skills related to developing data-centric applications, scalable services, and applications for end-users. On the other hand, there is also a lot of stability, as many skills have acquired a significant and stable position over the years. This includes certifications, network skills, software development skills, the use of business software like SAP, database management, and testing.
