I have now been at Matrikon for two and a half years. This program is aimed at providing industry with graduates skilled in both the hardware and software aspects of computers and their applications. The program is structured on a standard lecture format with extensive hands-on experience. Core subjects will be taken by all students. Elective subjects may be available to allow students a degree of specialization, subject to student interest and available resources.
Demand really depends upon experience and willingness to learn new things.
As more and more tasks and items fall into the roles of the IT groups, demand can only increase. Consider the merging of the telecommunications and networking fields. Either workloads will double, or the number of jobs will. I have a pretty diverse job description. The next most important skill would be a willingness to learn and to have a constant learning curve.
