12 lakh professionals required in computer hardware, networking and security

Pune: Around 12 lakh skilled professionals are required in the field of computer hardware, security and networking in the country, estimates Nasscom. As per the statistics provided by Deepak Kulaskar, zonal head of The Indian Institute of Job Oriented Training (IIJT), the current supply is only 10 percent of the demand.
Despite the growing interest of students in being computer trained especially the programming part but it is hardware, securities and networking which has more opportunities. Moreover, with the Indian hardware sector expecting to touch $62 billion by 2010, makes the demand for professionals more evident.
The main reason for the growing demand and lack of supply is the lack of proper training institutes. IIJT is one such institute which deals in the job oriented training in this field. Apart from it there are a handful like IACM in Kanpur, Jetking and Comnet Univ.

2: As the Indian economy grows at between 8 and
10% rate, and as the IT service businesses
grow, common sense says that there will be
demand for skilled professionals as mentioned
in the news item. It is also possible that
many of these jobs do not really require full
fledged bachelor degrees. ITIs and other
training institutes should be able to train
high school graduates to provide trainees the
knowledge and skills necessary to do the
work. Communication skills are important as
these technical professionals come in contact
with customers, and other professionals.
