CompTIA as a resource

For Plunkett, its important training is well rounded and interactive. Labs and performance-based questions should be included to test the skills, not just theoretical knowledge. “We do need things quicker than just relying on the academic sector to build that talent pool. So, the more diverse, innovative offerings the better. There are a lot of very effective self-study and virtual programs as well as hybrid approaches. There are mentored learning approaches we’re offering and that partners are offering as well.”
In his closing words of advice, Stanger urged the attendees to do anything they can to expose students to the technology in a hands-on way by taking an explorative approach. “If you can make that experiential, you’ll be amazed at how quickly students will leapfrog in their knowledge and get to the level that the market is looking for.”
Plunkett encouraged everyone to have people perform tasks testing their skills, so they go through mirroring the workplace as much as possible. “We see that as the most effective way of delivering these skills to individuals. My advice is to think outside the box and be prepared to see what is working. See us at CompTIA as a resource. We are happy to share best practices we see. We really want to fill the pipeline to where it needs to be and support the entire ecosystem.”
