Careers in IT offer exciting opportunities for growth and advancement in today’s fast-paced technological world. Despite this, it can be challenging to chart a clear path towards success due to the industry’s ever-evolving nature. Having no trusted source to turn to makes this even more difficult. This is where IT career roadmap sessions come in! Following the incredible success and high demand of these sessions in Las Vegas, we have brought them back to provide professionals invaluable guidance and help them succeed in their IT careers!

Hosted at VMware Explore Barcelona – outside of the Customer Experience and Success Theater, in The Hub, our Technical Learning Engineers will help you reevaluate your goals, current IT trajectory, and advise you on how to get to the next level! You can ask them what steps you need to take to advance your career. It won’t take long for these to fill up, so sign up now! 

Here are a few benefits of IT Career Roadmap Sessions: 

  1. Clarity and Focus: It takes more than firefighting IT issues every day to get to the next level. Developing a career roadmap is a great way to gain clarity, focus, and challenge your expectations. 
  2. Skill Assessment and Development: We help you identify key skill gaps needed in today’s strong IT market, whether you are rediscovering your passion or just starting your career journey.  
  3. Industry Insights: IT professionals who are capable leaders and passionate about technology are in high demand by companies. Additionally, these sessions can give you a great understanding of the latest technologies, trends, and in-demand skills.  
  4. Goal Setting: As part of career roadmap sessions, professionals are guided on how to set and achieve achievable career goals.
