The HPE Networking Skills Transformation Service is a comprehensive, tailored
learning
solution designed to transform the skills of an entire enterprise — including
technical and non-technical staff — in key technology networking domains such as
automation, artificial intelligence, cloud, security, and more.
Why transform skills
The need to transform skills is driven by the rapid evolution of networks and the
demands placed upon them. Consider that:
- 50 percent of all organizations will be using cloud-based network management platforms
by 2025.
- 41 billion IoT devices in the world by 2027.
- 80 percent of organizations will undergo change in security structure by
2022.
- 49 percent of enterprises consider automation a ‘major priority’ in the next 1–2
years.
Enterprise networks must evolve to support these
challenges.
Adding to the urgency, IT leaders must contend with attrition rates averaging
20–25
percent annually. That’s the equivalent of a quarter of an IT team’s skills
walking
out the door each year. Skill development and transformation has become an
essential
business requirement to ensure team readiness.
Successful enterprise transformation requires buy-in from all groups within your
organization, not just the network engineers. With this in mind, HPE Networking
can
develop
a holistic learning plan that provides relevant learning for all audiences.
Technical functions
How to learn and implement the new technologies, ongoing management of
technology, and continued skills management.
Supporting functions
Basic literacy of the technology, the need for transformation, and
understanding how their role ties to the transformation’s success.
Management functions
Understanding the transformation’s business case, how to engage with and
support employees, and how to connect external parties (as needed) to the
transformation.
The HPE networking process
1. Analysis
Given the importance of the technical roles in
transforming the network, we start with a detailed
analysis of the team members’ skill sets. This
drives the scale and scope of the training
engagement and allows for informed recommendations.
The comprehensive skills assessment measures the
skill levels of your network engineering team. The
results enable us to create a custom training plan
for skills transformation and identify areas for
growth.
2. Design
With team and individual skills known, we design the
training plan around the desired future skills of
each engineer and team. Oftentimes this involves
developing skills aligned to new roles and advanced
networking technologies, such as automation, AI/ML,
and cloud.
While traditional networking skills remain relevant,
supporting a transformed, modern network requires
engineers to adopt new roles such as network
reliability, DevOps, and automation engineers.
3. Develop
We use a variety of content sources to develop the
training plan, including, but not limited to, our
own technical training courses, industry-standard
training materials, and custom-developed content.
Where appropriate, we will align the training plan
with HPE Networking Certifications as a means to
validate
the skills gained.
4. Deliver
HPE Networking then delivers a comprehensive learning
program based on the KSA to ensure your IT teams
have the skills needed to derive the highest
performance from their HPE Networking Networks
solutions.
HPE Networking training programs improve on the
traditional
private or custom training-class model by
incorporating prerequisite and post-requisite
training, certification, and sustaining components.
This develops an end-to-end training solution that
delivers effective knowledge transfer and skills
growth.
5. Feedback
Throughout the process we use feedback and metrics to
improve the design and delivery of current and
future training.
Technical staff attrition, shifting business
priorities, and advances in networking technology
often serve as catalysts for the adjustment of
training and are routinely incorporated in the
feedback phase.
