Lutz-Oliver Beck, Head of Engineering<\/p><\/div>\n

Lutz-Oliver Beck:<\/strong> The changes are enormous. Digitalisation now permeates all areas of life and the economy. This means that the technological expertise of our employees must constantly grow. At the same time, soft skills are also becoming more and more important because IT is increasingly acting as a link between various specialist areas, customers and management.<\/p>\n

Which technological skills will be particularly in demand in the future?<\/h3>\n

Lutz-Oliver Beck:<\/strong> There are several key areas here:<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence and machine learning: AI applications and machine learning are already part of everyday life in many companies. Those who can develop, implement and train algorithms are in high demand.<\/p>\n

Cloud computing: The cloud is the backbone of modern IT infrastructures. Specialists who can design, manage and secure cloud solutions are indispensable. Multi-cloud strategies and automation tools in particular are becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity: As digitalisation increases, so does the risk of cyberattacks. IT security experts who protect networks, applications and data are urgently needed.<\/p>\n

Data science and data expertise: The ability to analyse large amounts of data and create added value from it is a real competitive advantage.<\/p>\n

Internet of Things (IoT): The networking of devices and machines opens up new possibilities and places new demands on integration and security.<\/p>\n

In addition to technical expertise, which soft skills are particularly important?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lutz-Oliver Beck:<\/strong> Soft skills are a real success factor today. They are particularly important:<\/p>\n

Communication skills: It is not enough to be technically fit. You have to be able to communicate complex issues clearly – both internally and externally.<\/p>\n

Teamwork: IT projects are rarely individual endeavours. Collaboration in a team and with other departments is essential.<\/p>\n

Analytical and creative thinking: Innovative solutions are created through a combination of the ability to analyse and creativity.<\/p>\n

Willingness to learn: The IT sector is developing rapidly. Those who remain open to new ideas and continue to learn are at a clear advantage.<\/p>\n

The world of work is becoming more flexible. How are new working models influencing the demands on IT specialists?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lutz-Oliver Beck<\/strong>: Flexibility is a must today. Working from home, remote working and agile methods have long been standard. Specialists should be prepared to work with changing teams, internationally and with new tools. Those who are open and adaptable will be successful.<\/p>\n

What should IT specialists have today in order to be in demand tomorrow?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lutz-Oliver Beck: In addition to in-depth technological knowledge, strong soft skills and a willingness to continuously develop are crucial. Those who combine these skills will actively shape the digital future and remain in demand on the labour market.<\/p>\n
