As the dawn of the next decade approaches, Techladder Inc is taking an in-depth view of the latest trends in careers in IT, STEM and Skilled Trades, analyzing what trends on the horizon are set to make an impact in these fields.
IT Trends in the Twenties
Few sectors, if any, tend to move faster than the tech sector, and the arriving decade is shaping up to be no exception. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and UX development are all set to be among the greatest areas of hiring growth expected within the tech industry. According to a recent report from CNBC, some of the tech skills expected to be most popular in 2020 include Python, React (web), Angular, and Amazon AWS.
In addition to this, in today’s thoroughly digital world, cybersecurity professionals are increasingly being sought out by companies and organizations to address increasingly pervasive and sophisticated threats. In fact (ISC)2, an international cybersecurity organization estimates that there is a skills gap of 4.07 million individuals worldwide. Among the largest concerns from businesses is a lack of adequately trained cybersecurity professionals within their organization. In order to remedy these growing concerns regarding a lack of qualified workers, a number of education/training programs and institutions are beginning to materialize and take shape. Among the more high-profile of these is The Center for Cybersecurity currently under construction at Rochester Institute of Technology.
