Technology is developing at unprecedented speed. This has led to a high demand for tech talent across industries and sectors in the tech start-up space as well as among larger organisations pushing their own digital efforts, especially in the COVID19 era. However, research suggests that the development of tech skills hasn’t quite kept pace, leading to a shortage of qualified and job ready tech talent in the region.
