Not saying this isn’t an indictment of Samsung’s terrible treatment of its workers - it definitely is - but not sure how this relates to the core point of the OP?
But it pretty much the same here in NA. All of my computer classes were Microsoft heavy. I mean intro Computers spent a third of the course on Microsoft Office ffs.
Big Tech, in general, has been doing this for decades. I’ve been interviewing networking graduates for many years now, and all they can (mostly) parrot to me is Cisco-drivel. But that’s been (mostly) appropriate for the roles I’ve recruited for.
Microsoft Office (M365, really) is the proxy standard for enterprises when it comes to choice of productivity suite; directory/authentication; and/or UC. Sure, there are other options, but enterprise IT is generally influenced by where their biggest spend is, or costs that can be avoided. I’ve seen some really shitty decisions made, to put cloud “serverless” hosting with Azure, just because the org wants to dodge a ginormous SQL client CAL bill for self-hosted apps and data.
The real question we need to ask ourselves is if we’re letting the tail wag the dog here.
Are we teaching our grads Big Tech because that’s the skills that are most in demand, or are we letting Big Tech drive education agenda?
