When it comes to IT security, knowledge alone is not enough. What matters is what follows from it. For qSkills, the focus is therefore not on pure knowledge transfer, but on practical application in everyday working life. “You don’t attend a training course to gain knowledge – you attend it to actively do something with that knowledge,” says Christian Jacobs, Managing Director of qSkills™ GmbH & Co. KG.
Keeping pace with change
This mindset is closely linked to a clear ambition: relevance. In an industry that is constantly evolving, outdated knowledge has no place. “Nobody wants a Windows 7 training anymore,” Christian Jacobs puts it succinctly. What matters is identifying developments early and continuously adapting content. This also means not only observing trends, but interpreting them and translating them into concrete learning offerings. “You always have to read the crystal ball a bit,” Jacobs adds.
it sa as a space for reflection
A key place for this exchange is it-sa Expo & Congress in Nuremberg. For qSkills, it is far more than a trade fair – it serves as a mirror of the industry. “The trade fair gives you the opportunity to gain a very good overview in a short amount of time,” explains Christian Jacobs. Conversations with manufacturers, partners and users merge into an overall picture that rarely emerges in everyday work.
This exchange is crucial: different perspectives come together, experiences are shared and developments jointly assessed. “In the end, these are all subjective perspectives, and the overall picture only emerges over time,” Jacobs says.
