The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the business world. As a result, many companies have now accelerated digital transformation so they don't lose out on the competition.
As a result, the need for digital and technological talents is also getting higher and higher. This is also considered to continue even for the next 10 years because all companies will participate in digital transformation.
The development of information technology (IT/IT) has also touched various aspects. Therefore, it is not surprising that jobs related to IT are developing and their work is in great demand by the public.
Jobstreet presented data related to job trends in the technology and digital industry era in 2022. Based on internal Jobstreet 2022 data, Digital Marketing was ranked first with an increase of 66%.

"This internal data shows that the company's need for IT and digital is quite large," he said.
IT ranks at the top of the largest salaries and the highest salary growth is also IT.
However, along with the increasing need for manpower in the IT and digital fields, unfortunately it is not accompanied by the growth of the talent itself. Even the World Bank predicts that there will be a shortage of ICT talent in 2030.
Thus the support from the government, the media and the education sector is expected to prepare talents who are ready to face future challenges so that the economy is advanced and can compete with other countries.
