IT Careers Still Going Strong

Despite the recession, Joskos helps people change careers

In the current economic climate, a change of career is usually far from the best option. The old adage of ‘first in, last out’ makes changing career a daunting prospect for anyone.

However, despite these financially unstable times, the IT industry is continuing to prosper, with IT support staff continually in demand by companies from all sectors. Changing to an IT role is one of the few career changes that can really guarantee a stable career in a growth industry, and good IT training is vital to this role.

While universities and colleges can offer a basis for IT training, nothing can give a better start than a full Microsoft certification. Joskos is a company that has shown a commitment to not only providing that certification, but providing further support to its students as they enter their first career.

“We pioneered taking people off of the streets and getting them the experience, the training and the certification, and actually holding their hand through the interview and helping them get on that career ladder and as they climb up that career ladder, they come back for more people.” said Nick Madhavji, director of Joskos.

Joskos is one of the longest official established Microsoft Training providers in the UK. Over many years they have provided a one stop solution to candidates by trying to re-skill or up-skill them for a prosperous career in IT. They have achieved this by ensuring their students receive training at the highest level using advanced technologies combined with guaranteed IT exposure whilst gaining there technical certification. The Training is tailor made to any students in order to fit around any lifestyle and circumstances. This can be achieved from home learning or professional classroom labs. Having built relationships with many employers over the years the Joskos recruitment team are there to ensure student are guided and supported from building there CV’s to doing mock interviews. This unique service has worked for many people and can work for you.

Former Joskos student Simon Woods gave his experience of ‘life after Joskos’:

“Just a year ago, I was studying hard and working hard to find a job in IT. After landing a great role in the heart of the City - the square mile - my career has gone from strength to strength. In that short time, I have supported clients like Société Générale, State Street Bank, Hamleys, 20th Century Fox, the Houses of Parliament and multiple other well-known organisations. My company are now sending me on a support contract to Dubai for 9 months with paid accommodation on the coast with the palm tree islands and a company car.
I’m leaving in 4 weeks. I can't believe how quickly I've come in under a year. If anyone said to me a year ago, I'd be supporting clients in Dubai, from Dubai, I would have laughed at them!”

Joskos provides full work experience during their training program and continued support for their students once they have entered their first career. Joskos has shown a commitment to staying in touch with students and assisting with their continuing needs and training even years after they have entered their first career.

With the world’s media focusing on the negatives of the current recession, it’s good to see that with the proper IT training and assistance that Joskos can provide, there is hope for everyone who wishes to change to a better career.
