tutorrio data engineering leerprogramma opent voor nieuwe aanmeldingen

Klarrio

De inschrijvingen voor het tutorrio data engineer leerprogramma van Klarrio zijn opnieuw geopend: een uitgebreid, praktijkgericht programma dat beschikbaar is voor iedereen, ongeacht leeftijd, geslacht, formele onderwijsachtergrond in IT of financiële situatie. In slechts negen maanden kunnen deelnemers data engineering onder de knie krijgen met een jobcontract bij het Antwerpse systeemintegratie- en softwareontwikkelingsbedrijf Klarrio. Uit de meest recente Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI 2022) blijkt dat het aandeel ICT-specialisten in België weliswaar iets hoger ligt dan het EU-gemiddelde, maar dat het land nog steeds kampt met een aanzienlijk tekort aan deze professionals. "Hoewel er veel goede initiatieven zijn om het tekort aan vaardigheden in IT aan te pakken, is er onvoldoende aandacht voor data-engineering," zegt Kurt Jonckheer, Chief Executive Officer bij Klarrio. "De vraag naar data engineers zal de komende jaren naar verwachting blijven groeien. Scholen kunnen simpelweg niet voldoende data engineers op de markt brengen met vaardigheden en kennis die voldoen aan de vraag vanuit de industrie. tutorrio fungeert als een katalysator die Klarrio versnelt in het uitbreiden van zijn competentiecentrum in Europa." "Ook al willen veel mensen data-engineering studeren, ze kunnen het zich vaak niet veroorloven of krijgen niet de kans om dat te doen," zegt Bram Stes, Head Coach bij tutorrio. "Klarrio wil dit probleem oplossen met een 'verdien terwijl je leert'-model. Dit betekent dat de geselecteerde kandidaten kunnen deelnemen aan het tutorrio programma zonder collegegeld te hoeven betalen, en ze ontvangen een competitief beloningspakket vanaf de dag dat ze beginnen met hun studie." tutorrio staat open voor iedereen met affiniteit met coderen en een basiskennis van en interesse in informatica, of ze nu aan het begin van hun carrière staan of toe zijn aan een carrièreswitch. Tijdens de cursus kunnen ze een stevige basis in software engineering opbouwen door een unieke combinatie van lessen op locatie die worden gegeven door Klarrio experts, zelfstudie en groepsopdrachten. Wat tutorrio onderscheidt van andere aanbiedingen is Klarrio's toewijding aan open-source software: deelnemers leren de nieuwste, veelgevraagde geavanceerde frameworks te gebruiken. Het curriculum behandelt ook onderwerpen zoals cloud-economie en ethische overwegingen met betrekking tot gegevensbescherming en privacy. De inschrijvingen voor het volgende programma zijn op 4 juli 2023 geopend en zullen eind november sluiten. De lessen beginnen in januari 2024. Geselecteerde kandidaten beginnen hun studie als Klarrio medewerkers en worden junior data engineers na afronding van het programma. Meer informatie over het programma: https://tutorrio.com/ Over Klarrio: Klarrio is een toonaangevend systeemintegratie- en softwareontwikkelingsbedrijf gespecialiseerd in real-time datastreaming.

tutorrio Data Engineering Learning Program Opens for New Applications

Klarrio

Applications are once again open for Klarrio’s tutorrio data engineer learning program—a comprehensive, hands-on training available to every aspiring data engineer with an affinity for coding, regardless of age, gender, formal educational background in IT, or financial situation. In only nine months, participants can master data engineering while already having a job contract with Klarrio, an Antwerp-based systems integration and software development firm. The latest Digital Economy and Society Index ( DESI 2022 ) shows that while the share of ICT specialists in Belgium is slightly higher than the EU average, the country still suffers from a significant shortage of data engineering professionals. “Though there are many great initiatives to tackle the skills shortage in IT, there’s an insufficient focus on data engineering,” says Kurt Jonckheer, Chief Executive Officer of Klarrio. “Demand for data engineers is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years, but most formal education still focuses on data science.” “Schools today cannot bring enough data engineers to the market with the necessary skills and knowledge to meet the current level of industry demand. tutorrio acts as a catalyst for training talented data engineers, accelerating Klarrio in extending its center of competence in Europe.” “Although many people want to study data engineering, they often can’t afford to do so, or they just don’t have the opportunity,” says Bram Stes, Head Coach at tutorrio. “Klarrio aims to solve the problem with an ‘earn while you learn’ model. This means that selected candidates can participate in the tutorrio program without paying a tuition fee, and receive a competitive remuneration package from the day they start their studies.” tutorrio is open to everyone with an affinity for coding, and a basic understanding of and interest in computer science, whether they’re just starting their career or looking for a change. Throughout the course, participants can build a robust foundation in software engineering through a unique combination of on-site lessons with Klarrio experts, group assignments, and self-study. Participants will learn to use and work with the latest, cutting-edge open-source frameworks. The training also covers a broad range of topics beyond the basics, such as cloud economics and ethical considerations regarding data protection and privacy. Applications for the new semester opened on 4 July and will close at the end of November, with classes starting in January 2024. Chosen candidates will begin their studies as Klarrio employees and will become junior data engineers upon completion of the program.
