The software industry has a strong demand for labor in Argentina. It is an industry that has salaries that are among the highest in the country but you can’t find suitable staff.
For this reason, the Argentine Chamber of Software Industry (CESSI), as part of its Software as a Future (SaaF) program, has launched some free introductory software development training courses by its management and with sponsoring partners .
The activities are intended for all those interested who seek to reconvert or who want to start studying a subject related to information technology.
This initiative is complemented by the provision of coworking spaces in several municipalities in Argentina.
The idea is to generate communities of developers and suitable study spaces so that future experts do not have to leave their cities and can contribute to the federal development of the sector.
This initiative sees the collaboration and coordinated work between the State, educational institutions, the production network and the software industry with the aim of offering free training spaces throughout the national territory.
In addition, he proposes to generate 400,000 new positions in industry, $10,000 million in new exports and $20,000 million in aggregate GDP by 2031.
As part of SaaF, CESSI together with partner companies such as Globant, Alkemy, Finnegans and Microsoft, participated in hackathons and fairs where he gave speeches on job placement in different provinces, arousing interest in the communities.
Furthermore, the chamber in alliance with Junior Achievement (an international educational foundation that seeks to generate an entrepreneurial spirit in young people) continues to offer courses, with Microsoft and Google as allies, of introduction to software development and, soon, will offer training in the Cloud Microsoft Administration.
Free software courses for beginners
For its part, SaaF is also working in partnership with CISCO, CISCO Networking and Edutek to teach introductory courses on JavaScript, Python and Cybersecurity. The call ends on January 30th and already has more than 6,000 members throughout the country with an average age of 30 years.
To complement this, in March 2023 SaaF will launch together with Alkemy an employability platform for developers that allows to accelerate and certify people’s technical and soft skills.
This tool is designed to facilitate the training of young talents, allow them to show what they know and obtain certifications, which will be a very valuable tool for the recruitment sectors of CESSI member companies.
Today, the software industry employs almost 140,000 people and, during 2021, it was the fastest growing, with more than 15,500 new formal, quality, inclusive and federal jobs.
With the year 2031 as its projection deadline, SaaF has a firm goal of turning software into the country’s growth engine. The participation and involvement of the different actors is essential to achieve this goal.
