Internet of Things talent shortage

Since the country launched the Internet of Things development strategy in 2009, the Internet of Things has developed rapidly in China and has made great strides in smart homes, smart transportation, smart agriculture, and intelligent industries. Experts predict that by 2015, China's Internet of Things industry will reach 500 billion yuan. The smart home output value will also exceed 124 billion yuan. The rapid development of the Internet of Things industry requires a large number of talented people. Among them, smart homes as the Internet of Things (IoT) industry's hottest industry are particularly eager for talents.

For example, a smart home has a number of needs for technical talent recruitment advertisements that have recently appeared, such as application software development engineers, construction engineers, project implementation engineers, software test engineers, project management engineers, industrial design engineers, and software development engineers. For technical personnel, most employers require working experience and the working period is at least 1 year. In terms of salary, it is mainly based on the job level. For a growing company, the salary may not be very high, but it will give some equity; the listed company will have a strong ability to pay, and the salary will be higher, and the annual salary will probably be between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan.

In fact, since the rise of the Internet of Things, the problem of shortage of talent has emerged. Many domestic universities are also eyeing this emerging industry and are eager to establish the Internet of Things and related professions to meet the needs of the market and solve the problem of student employment. The Ministry of Education has successively issued documents, and 64 Internet-related related professions have been set up in 59 colleges and universities in the country. However, it is still far from meeting the needs of the market. The talent gap for the Internet of Things will be about 10 million in the next few years. On the one hand, companies need sophisticated high-level Internet of things talents. On the other hand, colleges and universities are scarce. Under this background, it is not difficult to understand the scarcity of smart homes.

In view of the shortage of IoT talents, the person in charge of the smart home leader IoT Sensing Technology Division stated that smart homes belong to a new type of industry. Theories in colleges and universities have not become mainstream, and many professors and students are very good at electronics, electromechanical and other single aspects. , but rubbing it up is very hard. In colleges and universities, there is a shortage of people with ideas and lack of integrated personnel with overall planning. In addition, China's cloud computing started late and was conceptually weak. After the concept of industrialization was proposed, there was no unified industry rules, no professional disciplines and systems were formed, and there were no vacancies in the positions, but talent supply could not meet the requirements.

The talent training of the Internet of Things can not be isolated. It not only includes talent training in sensors, terminals, and communication networks, but also includes talent training in cloud computing and big data. Basic engineers who are solely responsible for software and hardware require relatively low requirements. The ultimate engineers responsible for the main network and the Internet of Things are more stringent. Internet of Things talents need comprehensive training.

The importance of talent has reached consensus in the smart home industry. Today, the drawbacks of smart home wired technology have been fully exposed, wireless technology is popular, and become the future development trend. At present, various technical talents on wireless smart home are extremely popular, and some companies even do not hesitate to plunder talents.
