Why You Should Care: The Global Workforce Shortage
Studies paint a stark picture. The tech sector is experiencing exponential growth, leading to millions of unfilled positions. Experts estimate upwards of 85 million unfilled positions by 2030. The alarming reality is that the supply of qualified professionals falls woefully short of this demand. This imbalance threatens the efficiency and competitiveness of businesses across sectors.
About Skillquest
While pursuing a coding education, Skillquest founder Corbin Fonville had to learn to code by building a vegetable categorizing app. To say it was excruciatingly boring would be an understatement. It wasn’t until he built something interesting and relevant to him that he was able to use it as an example in an interview launching his career as a software engineer.
