“We wanted to get a better understanding of what organizations are doing and planning to do this year, specifically as it relates to their IT training,” said Jennifer Didier, President, Directions Training. “Coming out of the pandemic, we felt it was important to see how companies were addressing their training needs now that the world is opening back up.”
Cybersecurity is at the top of the list of IT training needs, named by three quarters of respondents to the survey. Learning to leverage Microsoft’s suite of tools, support for remote teams, and cloud transformation were also popular areas of training need, the survey results revealed.
“We also saw heightened interest in virtual training,” said Didier. “That’s not a surprise since many organizations who transitioned to a remote workforce will still be maintaining a significant out-of-office presence, but still have significant training requirements.”
Directions Training helps individuals develop their skill sets and achieve increasingly high standards of productivity while enabling organizations of all sizes to realize the full potential of their technology investments.
