[Blockchain technology] The scarcity of high-level professional talents in the blockchain becomes a development constraint
In 2020, the blockchain will be officially included in the “new infrastructure” category by the country, and blockchain technology is gradually moving from concept to landing. In 2021, what factors will determine the future development of the blockchain industry? Ouke Cloud Chain Group vice president Hu Chao recently stated that the talent problem in the blockchain industry is a major development constraint. The current situation is a shortage of talents and maturity needs to be improved.
Gartner, an international authoritative consulting organization, predicted in 2020 that China's blockchain talent gap will reach more than 750,000 in the next five years. According to the "Research Report on China's Blockchain Talent Development in 2020", 33 universities across the country have opened blockchain courses, but the first domestic blockchain undergraduate major-Chengdu University of Information Technology "Blockchain Engineering" in 2020 Only officially enrolled students.
According to the feedback of interviewed companies, talents in various positions in the blockchain field, from technology to market operations, are very scarce, with a pass rate of 0.1‰-0.5‰, and there is still a way to build a mature industrial framework. To go.
Hu Chao said that many peers in the industry often say that they cannot recruit suitable talents. This reflects the current shortage of professional talents in the entire blockchain industry, especially high-level professionals; on the other hand, it also reminds Employers on the demand side should systematically think about what kind of talents they need in order to provide various training institutions on the supply side with talent training guidelines that better meet market needs.
Ouke Cloud Chain announced on January 18 that the group will start global recruitment in 2021. It plans to recruit hundreds of talents in various fields worldwide, of which technical talents will become the focus. At the same time, the "Kunpeng Plan" for blockchain talents has been upgraded simultaneously, and new measures will be fully implemented from the dimensions of demand-side talent introduction, supply-side training, and social science popularization.
The above-mentioned blockchain talent "Kunpeng Plan" will promote the maturity of the talent team in the new technology industry and accelerate the industry to empower the real society, laying a technical foundation for a more convenient and more reliable life, and at the same time, injecting into the current employment environment Motivation, and actively create jobs to help social employment.
It is reported that Ouke Cloud Chain’s global introduction of talents this year is expected to increase by over 30%, and the capacity of the Super Five to become technical and R&D talents. The positions that have been released include blockchain development engineers, senior Java development engineers (block Chain), data warehouse engineers, etc.
Hu Chao said that from the perspective of technology origin, blockchain is an emerging technology that combines multiple disciplines such as cryptography, mathematics, operating systems, network communications, and computer programming. This requires talents to have a multi-disciplinary cross-combined bottom layer. Knowledge structure, it is possible to master the ability of system architecture design while deeply understanding the underlying design principles of the blockchain.
From the perspective of industrial application, no matter how advanced blockchain technology is, practical application scenarios are needed. It is far from enough to understand the blockchain in the process of in-depth advancement of "blockchain + industry". For example, the most widely used "blockchain + finance" application scenario currently requires not only mastering the technical principles of the blockchain, but also the operational logic of financial services.
Hu Chao said bluntly: “Blockchain talents should not only pay attention to the construction of the underlying technical knowledge structure, but also pay attention to the learning of application-level business logic, in order to truly release the value of innovative applications of blockchain technology, and this should also become a practical talent. Cultivation orientation."
