REPORT ON CAREER GROWTH IN IT 11 SEPTEMBER 2024

A workshop on "Career Growth in Information Technology (IT) was recently conducted at Himalayan Institute of Design & Technology , where the scope of job opportunities in the IT sector was thoroughly discussed. The session highlighted the rapid evolution of the industry and the growing demand for professionals skilled in the latest technologies and software tools.

During the seminar, the importance of programming languages such as Python, HTML, Java, bootstrap etc. Was emphasized, with detailed explanations on how these are the foundational blocks for many IT roles. The discussion extended to the distinction between front-end and back-end development, where participants learned how the front end focuses on user experience (UI/UX) and interface design, while the back-end handles server-side operations, databases, and application logic.

Sh. Ashok Kumar, Software Trainer and Director, played a key role in the session. He stressed that learning the latest technologies is critical, but training is equally important as it provides practical knowledge, which is an integral part of any IT course. He emphasized the need for hands-on experience through internships, which serve as a bridge between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications. Ashok Kumar further explained that students who complete their training and internships successfully often find it easier to get placed in well-established IT companies. The combination of technical expertise and practical experience gained during training greatly enhances a candidate’s employability, making them well-prepared to meet the challenges of the dynamic IT landscape.

The session concluded with a positive outlook on the career growth opportunities in IT, particularly for those who stay updated with evolving technologies and actively participate in training and internships.
