Dusseldorf (pte037/22.05.2003/15:20) - According to Dusseldorf IT consultants Harvey Nash http://www.harveynash.de , Germany has a lack of well-prepared IT professionals in its labour force.
"It's not a quantitative problem. But we have a qualitative problem in Germany. The education of IT professionals has dropped several levels. Certain core components of the IT landscape are not taught anymore. Few universities today teach computer architecture or a programming language that might be used in large computers. As a result, 40 to 50 per cent of graduates have no idea what's going on in the IT world in Germany," said Udo Nadolski, manager of Harvey Nash.
Nadolski believes graduates are generally well-equipped to deal with the Internet, but this is just the front end of the field. Another problem, he says, is that IT freelancers tend to specialise in certain technologies, which he considers a one-way street. As a result, there are many specialists on the market, but few who can guarantee the quality of the total package.
