New technologies are changing the way people work and the post-pandemic has come to reinforce this premise. In this context, the demand for training is constant, the market moves dynamically and it is necessary know and understand the new tools that will be essential tomorrow.

Also, given these movements and advances in IT, the job market demands more and new talents to meet the challenge that is presented to him. In this sentence, short courses with quick employment gain importance. And this is due, according to the specialists, to two fundamental things: first, because it makes it possible to satisfy a market need. Second, they are effective for trained professionals looking for training more in the skills and abilities that today’s businesses need to incorporate.

From EducaciónIT, a company that is dedicated to giving distance courses and careers, they warn that courses the most requested short films and the quick exit from work, and which, in addition, guarantee an income in dollars They are the ones that have to do with blockchain, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

For the University of Morón, in addition to the growth of short careers related to technology, a new term must be added: the Metaverse.

“The future professional opportunities for those trained in Blockchain are and will be: consultant, smart contract programmer, automation of trading with cryptocurrencies, new payment systems, etc “, tell from Education IT.

For the experts, the salaries offered in this type of area vary between $ 200,000 and $ 500,000while the dollar offer can exceed USD 3,000.

So far this year, EducacionIT has already taught a variety of over 30 courses in the Blockchain area, at different levels. “If we do a review and comparison year after year, the increase in people trained has grown dramatically,” says Nahuel Villegas, a professor at the online training company.

In this sense, he adds it “in 2021 the increase in students was 211.74% compared to 2020, while the rate was already up the previous year, in the midst of a pandemic, reaching 340% more students if we compare 2020 with 2019 “.

Regarding the prior knowledge needed to take these courses, Villegas told Clarín “The only requirement is to have basic PC skills and a Windows operating system.”

“All interested are trained to get started in this space. The first course is bitcoin and cryptocurrencies which we call entry level. It is the ideal course for who wants to have a first approach to the world of cryptocurrencies but is not yet entirely sure of ruining everything “put on guard.

Advance of the Metaverse

From the University of Morón, however, the bet is on the Metaverse. But what do we mean when we say Metaverse. Pablo Navarro, Secretary General of the University, explained to Clarín: “The metaverse is actually an ecosystem or a digitally created world in which a virtual world is recreated in where people can interact through their characters, called avatars, and build a true parallel world in another dimension other than the real one, which incorporates infinite and unimaginable conditions for traveling in that world “.

This sector is in full development and is one of the most talked about in the world today. Navarro stressed that the disciplines that must interact to recreate worlds parallel to those of real life, no doubt, aren “all the technological dimension linked to software, hardware, networks, design, platform development”as well as, “the disciplines that manage to transfer aspects of real life in relation to individuals and coexistence in community to that dimension”.

“We think that it is a question of making available to a person all the conditions, resources and tools of daily life and for this interdisciplinary will be a relevant factor in obtaining the best results”, underlined the Secretary General of the UM.

In this sense, he added that “for this reason it would be logical to also think of mental health professionals, of law, of sociology, of medicine, and they should also broaden their current areas of intervention”.

Regarding the profile a student seeking to approach this type of course should have, Navarro stated that rigorously academically he should “have a solid foundation in basic sciences, such as mathematics, abstract thinking management and the ability to take a critical look, and above all to have the desire to investigate and learn “.

The University of Morón has launched more than 150 courses, during the pandemic, which allow the training of targeted skills and abilities, “where technology has a great offer of quantity and diversity”.

“Student enrollment in technology-related careers has increased in recent years, as has the demand from companies for job searches and rented internships,” he said.
