A shift to efficiently working from a home office is our common responsibility

We all face very serious threat with the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The World Health Organization clearly concludes that only decisive measures will allow to overcome this danger, with home isolation at the top of the list. But how to self-isolate when at work? In some cases a temporary home office transition requires our own initiative, but mostly it is due to our employer. The European IT Certification may help in all related scenarios.

So how should we proceed? Telework transition must be first well discussed between the employer and the employees in detail. It requires a proper infrastructure, defining the processes, establishing tasks and exercising communication. Further on the efficiency of the work performed remotely depends on the functionalities of the software used and the skills involved. EITCI responds with the subsidies for the European IT Certification.

Top telework ready jobs are the office and administrative ones, but virtual presence solutions and the digitalization of the processes enable working online in many other professions. You could well work remotely if you are a teacher, manager, salesperson, marketer, etc. In many other professions digitalization of the work performed may not leave you at home, but can still significantly limit the probability of your exposition to coronavirus and limit its proliferation. In all cases skills are crucial. You can choose the adequate European IT Certificates and apply for the Coronavirus EITCI DSJC Subsidy.
