The Linux Foundation\u2019s 2023 State of Tech Talent Report, viewable <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/project.linuxfoundation.org\/2023-state-of-tech-talent-report-acquiring-and-retaining-technical-talent-in-2023-kh-0\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, highlights what some 400 IT hiring managers and staffing professionals view as must-haves for new hires. Here are three insights and the takeaways technical professionals should know, as they seek their next challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Insight 1: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New hiring continues to focus on developers and newer technologies, especially: cloud\/containers (50%); cyber security (50%); and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) (46%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As technology development continues to accelerate, hiring managers are seeking technical staff who have existing strong skill sets in high-demand areas. Not surprisingly, evolving technologies such as cloud and cyber security remain in high demand. The fact that respondents said they have cloud native professionals (59%) and cyber security (59%) already on staff, indicates that organizations need to expand teams and expertise.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there is more to this. Organizations report having a range of hiring priorities to grow existing teams and capabilities. These include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Augmented\/Virtual Reality<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI\/ML<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blockchain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CI\/CD\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DevOps\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kubernetes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you consider these factors against your own professional development path, it is important to remember that while AI is dominating hiring trends today, the \u201chot\u201d technologies could be very different a year or two from now. This is just another reason technical professionals excel when they continuously learn.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Insight 2: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">53% of respondents feel upskilling is extremely important to acquire the skills and knowledge their organization needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you are looking for a new role at a new organization or trying to shore up your current employment prospects, training and certifications are key. Many organizations are currently pursuing the approach of upskilling existing team members to close skill gaps. Look for these opportunities and raise your hand. Seeking out and participating in in-house training opportunities helps set you up for success whether you\u2019re looking for your next promotion, a lateral transfer or an opportunity elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your current employer isn\u2019t offering a training program to close critical skill gaps, that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re stuck. As an insider, you are in an excellent position to identify where the gaps are for your organization and seek suitable training programs on your own. This will heighten your stature, improve job security and potentially get you promoted. Pursuing in-demand skills also gives you an opportunity to make a case for your employer to pick up the tab.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If necessary, seeking your own certification on personal time gives you more freedom to acquire new skills that interest you and best fit your intended career path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Insight 3: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of respondents agree that certification (73%) and pre-employment testing (81%) are necessary to verify skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As candidates navigate this unusual and uncertain job market, one thing is for sure: employers want candidates who have proven and verifiable skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means seeking out certifications that aren\u2019t based on multiple choice exams, but rather ensuring participants have well-developed coding skills along with the critical thinking needed to solve real-world IT problems. When assessing potential certifications, look for those that include the use of lab environments and that test real coding capabilities from the command prompt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly look for expertise when assessing training courses, especially ones related to emerging technologies. A good check is the background of the instructors. Are they professional instructors or are they technical professionals themselves, working with new technologies? Instructors who are working with \u2013 as well as teaching about \u2013 emerging technology are much more likely to bring real life experiences that will help you learn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you consider your next career move as a technical professional, be sure to ask yourself the hard questions on what you want from your next role and beyond. Careers don\u2019t just happen, you have to build your own path. Doing so sets you up to respond to the shifting job economy of today, tomorrow, and in the decades to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Not sure where to start your journey?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> More than half of the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/resources\/?_sft_content_type=free-course\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linux Foundation Training &amp; Certification e-Learning catalog is free<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
