THE RISING DEMAND FOR IT SKILLS IN NON-TECH INDUSTRIES
December 6, 2019
Did you know that 9 in 10 IT jobs are in non-tech industries? Information Technology (IT) skills and jobs are widely misunderstood to be housed primarily in the tech sector, and they are also thought to be inaccessible to all but a small minority of people who have focused intently on computer science. Building on our prior research efforts and mining a database of over 150 million unique online U.S. job postings, Oracle Academy and Burning Glass Technologies produce new evidence that neither of these perceptions are borne out by data (see the report here).
During this insightful webinar, Will Markow, Manager of Client Strategy – Analytics at Burning Glass will share key findings from this research and what it means for IT educators.
