A new CompTIA study reveals that companies are increasingly prioritizing skills over degrees in their hiring practices. The demand for tech skills, particularly in artificial intelligence, data science, and software development, is expected to skyrocket in the coming years. The study also highlights the importance of workflow optimization and upskilling the workforce to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving digital economy.
Looking into 2025 and beyond, businesses will have an ever-growing appetite for technology as a primary tool for meeting organisational objectives, with this expected to drive soaring demand for new IT skills., which identifies several areas where the role of IT skills will be central in 2025 and beyond.
It identifies two clear areas where non-capital investment will still be needed – workflow and skills. As AI increasingly enters organisations through various applications, there will be different skill domains that emerge as complementary skill sets to existing acumen. Data, security, SysOps, architecture, auto coding and prompts are the primary domains where new skills are developing, the study reveals.
More than three out of four professionals in technical roles feel optimistic about their career potential. Tech skill demand remains high across all industries, and tech roles lend themselves well to flexible work arrangements. While companies struggle with their approach to cyber security or the shift away from a cost centre mentality, there is tremendous opportunity for IT pros to help their businesses accelerate digital transformation.worldwide IT spending total for 2025 is $5.
“Driving this quest to attain higher-level tech skills is demand for new skills. Channel executives today will tell you that even the smallest of customers is on high alert about cyber security or has pointed curiosity about AI’s potential for their company. And they want to know that their tech provider can help them.
