The gap between IT job openings and the trained professionals qualified to fill them is widening. Businesses around the globe are particularly challenged by a pandemic which is further exacerbating demand for talented technicians in mission-critical areas, such as cybersecurity.
According to the 2020 Harvey Nash/KPMG CIO Survey, around 35% of entities are seeking cybersecurity experts as their top priority. Other in-demand technology skills are organizational change management (27%), enterprise architecture (23%), and technical architecture and advanced analytics (22%).
