This is true for businesses and organizations in Pinellas County as well. Virtually all areas of Information Technology are being influenced by the emergence of cloud computing. A key shift has been how cloud computing has enabled the integration of software development and operations. DevOps, as this new practice is called, merges these two functions so that software developers and system administrators work as an integrated unit from design to build to deployment. This is just one reason why IT professionals across disciplines, from software developers to systems administrators, need to become proficient on cloud computing platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google.\n\nAs more and more companies look to digitize and automate business processes, there is a growing demand within the Information Technology (IT) industry for professionals with specialized skills in cloud computing and related experience. The recent pandemic has transformed business operations across the globe as companies were forced to adapt to online environments. Cloud computing quickly became a way of life for businesses across all sectors as they shifted to remote work. Cloud computing – or, the delivery of computing services such as servers, storage, databases, software, etc., over the internet, or “the cloud” - allowed businesses to move operations online safely and efficiently.","PROGRAM_SUMMARY":"

","PROGRAM_TEACHOUT":"","PROGRAM_WAGE_ANALYSIS":"A report by Markets and Markets research company, the global Cloud Computing Market is expected to grow from $371.4 billion in 2020 to $832.1 billion by 2025. \nTo meet this global demand, companies are in desperate need of IT professionals with cloud computing and related IT skills. This emerging technology fuels the ongoing demand for workforce training to keep up with the ever-evolving needs of the IT industry, which already struggles to keep up with the constant need for skilled talent.\n\nComputer Occupations account for the most in-demand job openings in Pinellas County, with approximately 6,336 job openings per year, and 18,474 annual job openings statewide with average salaries ranging from $37/hr to $51/hr. \n\nAnd according to FDOE, there is a critical need for statewide standards for a Cloud Computing Certificate for all colleges in the Florida College System. In fact, SPC’s EPIC project team has been asked to work with FDOE’s Standards, Benchmarks and Frameworks Bureau Chief Kathleen Taylor to establish learning outcomes and benchmarks necessary for cloud computing proficiency.","PROPOSAL_TYPE":"Program Modification","RELATED_WEBSITES":null,"SOC_CODE":"SOC Code Occupational Title\n151121\tComputer Systems Analysts\n151122\tInformation Security Analysts\n151131\tComputer Programmers\n151132\tSoftware Developers, Applications\n151133\tSoftware Developers, Systems Software\n151134\tWeb Developers\n151141\tDatabase Administrators\n151142\tNetwork and Computer Systems Administrat\n151143\tComputer Network Architects\n151151\tComputer User Support Specialists\n151199\tComputer Occupations, All Other","SOC_WEB_LINK":"https://www.bls.gov/soc/","SPC_APPLICATION":"Yes","SPC_CREDITS":"24.00","STATE_CREDITS":"24.00","STATUS":"Active","STUDENTS_ADMITTED":"Fall, Spring, Summer","SUBMISSION_REASON":"College Initiative","TRANSCRIPT_DESCRIPTION":"Certificate in Cloud Computing","TUITION_FISCAL_YEAR":null,"TUITION_SOURCE":null,"TYPICAL_COSTS":null,"UPPER_DIVISION":"Lower Division","WHERE_ADMINISTERED":null}]}
