【寫在前面】
Information technology is a rapidly changing field that impacts every industry in Minnesota. Colin Miller, faculty director forinformation technology infrastructure programsin the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, answers questions about the changes and trends Minnesotans can expect to see in the tech industry.
主要探討了明尼蘇達(dá)州信息技術(shù)(IT)行業(yè)的現(xiàn)狀、未來趨勢以及如何應(yīng)對(duì)快速變化的技術(shù)環(huán)境。明尼蘇達(dá)大學(xué)持續(xù)與專業(yè)研究學(xué)院信息技術(shù)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施項(xiàng)目主任Colin Miller回答了相關(guān)問題。。
Q1:What is the state of the tech industry in Minnesota?
Miller: The IT field in Minnesota is thriving, with strong demand across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing and retail. Home to at least 16 Fortune 500 companies, Minnesota offers numerous opportunities for IT professionals across a range of roles, from software development to cybersecurity and data science. The competitive pay scale and opportunities for specialization make it an attractive field. Additionally, the rise of remote work has broadened access to tech jobs statewide. However, there is a need for greater diversity within the industry to foster innovation and address complex tech challenges with a wider range of perspectives.
明尼蘇達(dá)州的科技行業(yè)現(xiàn)狀:
明尼蘇達(dá)州的IT行業(yè)蓬勃發(fā)展,需求強(qiáng)勁,涵蓋醫(yī)療、金融、制造業(yè)和零售等多個(gè)領(lǐng)域。作為擁有至少16家財(cái)富500強(qiáng)公司的州,明尼蘇達(dá)為IT專業(yè)人士提供了從軟件開發(fā)到網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全和數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)等多領(lǐng)域的豐富機(jī)會(huì)。遠(yuǎn)程工作的興起也擴(kuò)大了全州范圍內(nèi)的技術(shù)就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。然而,行業(yè)仍需增加多樣性,以促進(jìn)創(chuàng)新并應(yīng)對(duì)復(fù)雜的技術(shù)挑戰(zhàn)。
Q2:What tech skills are the most valuable today?
Miller:As technology evolves rapidly, there’s a growing demand for expertise in cloud computing, data analytics, cybersecurity and AI. Additionally, professionals need to understand how to manage and integrate these technologies into existing systems. Beyond technical skills, there is a need for knowledge in areas like data privacy, ethical AI and digital transformation strategies. In addition, soft skills have become indispensable in IT— the era of working in isolation and simply handing off code is long gone. Skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving and adaptability are now critical to success. Addressing these gaps requires a commitment to lifelong learning, interdisciplinary knowledge and adaptability to keep pace with the constantly shifting technological landscape.
當(dāng)前最有價(jià)值的技術(shù)技能:
隨著技術(shù)的快速發(fā)展,云計(jì)算、數(shù)據(jù)分析、網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全和人工智能等領(lǐng)域的專業(yè)知識(shí)需求不斷增加。除了技術(shù)技能外,數(shù)據(jù)隱私、倫理AI和數(shù)字化轉(zhuǎn)型戰(zhàn)略等領(lǐng)域的知識(shí)也變得重要。此外,溝通、團(tuán)隊(duì)合作、解決問題和適應(yīng)能力等軟技能已成為IT行業(yè)成功的關(guān)鍵。持續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)、跨學(xué)科知識(shí)和適應(yīng)能力對(duì)于跟上技術(shù)變革至關(guān)重要。
Q3:How can rural communities remain competitive in the tech industry?
Miller:Investing in robust digital infrastructure, such as high-speed internet, is critical for rural communities — from supporting remote work and digital education to telehealth services. For example, initiatives like Minnesota'sBorder-to-Border Broadband Development Grant Programare actively working to close the digital divide by expanding internet access in underserved rural areas. Additionally, rural communities can foster local talent by partnering with educational institutions and tech companies to provide training in emerging technologies like AI, cybersecurity and cloud computing. Encouraging a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship can attract tech firms and remote workers, enhancing the community’s economic resilience and global competitiveness.
農(nóng)村社區(qū)如何在科技行業(yè)保持競爭力:
農(nóng)村社區(qū)需要投資建設(shè)強(qiáng)大的數(shù)字基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施,如高速互聯(lián)網(wǎng),以支持遠(yuǎn)程工作、數(shù)字教育和遠(yuǎn)程醫(yī)療服務(wù)。明尼蘇達(dá)州的“邊境到邊境寬帶發(fā)展基金計(jì)劃”正在努力通過擴(kuò)大互聯(lián)網(wǎng)接入來縮小數(shù)字鴻溝。此外,農(nóng)村社區(qū)可以通過與教育機(jī)構(gòu)和科技公司合作,提供人工智能、網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全和云計(jì)算等新興技術(shù)的培訓(xùn),培養(yǎng)本地人才。鼓勵(lì)創(chuàng)新和創(chuàng)業(yè)文化可以吸引科技公司和遠(yuǎn)程工作者,增強(qiáng)社區(qū)的經(jīng)濟(jì)韌性和全球競爭力。
Q4:What safety measures can I take to keep up with the changing tech industry?
Miller:We can all adopt new safety practices to stay secure in today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape. With the rise of AI-generated content and sophisticated scams, individuals need to develop digital literacy skills to identify phishing attempts, deep fakes and other deceptive tactics. Best practices in cybersecurity, such as using strong, unique passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, and staying vigilant about suspicious links, are essential. Additionally, understanding privacy settings on apps and social media platforms helps prevent unauthorized data collection. As technology continues to integrate into daily life, consistent learning and adopting proactive measures will be key to maintaining personal security.
如何應(yīng)對(duì)快速變化的科技行業(yè)的安全挑戰(zhàn):
隨著AI生成內(nèi)容和復(fù)雜詐騙手段的增加,個(gè)人需要培養(yǎng)數(shù)字素養(yǎng),識(shí)別網(wǎng)絡(luò)釣魚、深度偽造等欺騙手段。網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全的最佳實(shí)踐,如使用強(qiáng)密碼、啟用多因素認(rèn)證和警惕可疑鏈接,至關(guān)重要。此外,了解應(yīng)用程序和社交媒體平臺(tái)的隱私設(shè)置有助于防止未經(jīng)授權(quán)的數(shù)據(jù)收集。持續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)和采取主動(dòng)措施是保持個(gè)人安全的關(guān)鍵。
Q5:How does the University of Minnesota prepare students for a rapidly changing technology landscape?
Miller:The University of Minnesota information technology infrastructure program equips students with a comprehensive understanding of current and emerging technologies. The program’s specialized plans allow students to tailor their education to industry needs, including data science, data management, development operations, networking, security, and systems. New courses in cloud data engineering and artificial intelligence are being introduced to stay in line with industry trends. Through hands-on projects, industry partnerships and a focus on both technical and business skills, students are prepared to adapt and excel in Minnesota’s dynamic tech landscape.
