After a couple of years heavily marked by the pandemic, thousands of companies were forced to accelerate their digital transformation process, which also caused advances in technology to accelerate.
For this reason, in recent years,
the demand for the technological professions
that are currently so required by the market has increased.
According to the Randstad
Human Resources consultancy
, this situation further marked the difference between labor demand -both from local and international companies- and the supply of candidates to fill these positions.
For its part,
PDA
, the International HR Tech for data and talent management, presented a
paper
on the 2023 trends for recruitment and organization design.
In it, they explain that global searches for "tech" positions have doubled
their demand
, thus generating an
oversupply of vacancies
compared to the few candidates who decide to apply for them.
Searches for technological profiles doubled in the last year.

According to the data provided by the
Chamber of the Argentine Software Industry (CESSI)
, every year there are close to
5,000 unfilled technology jobs
in the country due to a lack of qualified profiles.
This figure can triple if one also contemplates the unsatisfied demand for IT positions in other sectors of the economy.
In addition, and according to the study published by the
Bumeran
employment portal and the Ministry of Economic Development and Production of the City of Buenos Aires on the labor market of the technology industry, IT area advertisements receive 77% fewer
applications
than the average ad published on the Bumeran job portal.
What are the 5 technological careers most in demand by the market?
"The Randstad report adds that in Argentina, the top 3 of the
most demanded positions
in the current technology market are made up of infrastructure, programmer, and data analysis profiles," clarifies
Vanessa Taiah
, one of the founders of MindHub. , a center for intensive training in technology and innovation.
And he says that, in the field, the following profiles are in high demand:
functional analysts
Project managers
architects
data scientist
Infrastructure Profiles
Medium
Informatic security
web designers
UI/UXG specialists
SAP consultants and analysts
Big Data and BI specialists
Management and leadership positions associated with technology.
But the
5 IT professions
that are most requested by companies today are:
web developers
Blockchain Developer
Cybersecurity Specialist
DevOps Engineer
Data Scientist.
What is each of these five technological professions most required by the market about?
1. Web Developer or Programmer
They are those people who write computer programs.
The professionals who
create the software
are called programmers and use programming languages.
These languages are similar to languages that allow you to understand the computer and write
instructions that generate new programs
.
They can develop from websites or video games to applications to download on cell phones.
2. Blockchain Developer
It is a person with specialized technical knowledge in the creation of applications based on blockchain (a technology that, without the intermediation of third parties, allows digital transactions
to be carried out in a secure, fast
and decentralized manner).
These applications can include wallets, smart contracts, blockchains, and more.
Blockchain developers can also design and build blockchain security systems and help businesses understand the technical aspects of blockchain technology.

3. Cybersecurity Specialist
A cybersecurity specialist is a professional who is dedicated to
protecting the computer systems
of a company or organization against any security threat.

Where are the 5 careers with the most job opportunities studied?
As Vanessa Taiah explains, to study and be able to work in these professions there are two paths: enroll directly in one of them or train in many profiles that have bases in other careers such as some systems engineering, economics or those that teach some programming languages.
These are the different
options for training
in the most requested professions in the labor market:
. universities
It is the most classic alternative and with more extensive courses.
On the one hand, there are public
institutions :
National Technological University (UTN)
, is the country's benchmark in technology that has short distance programming courses, as well as face-to-face undergraduate or engineering degrees.
All the
country's national universities
have similar careers that give a foundation in technology or can offer specific short courses.
Then, there are the
private
options :
ITBA
(Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires),
UP
(University of Palermo) and
UADE
: have careers such as Computer Engineering, Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology Management (Systems), Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology Management (Systems) and Degree in Video Game Development.
Universidad de San Andrés (UdeSA)
launched in recent years the career in Digital Business and the degree in Artificial Intelligence.
You can choose to go to university and pursue a traditional degree (systems engineering) or take courses and bootcamps.

. Academies and schools
These institutions offer distance learning alternatives that require less study time and specialize in the technologies that are to be learned.
Among them are:
Digital House:
Offers a variety of distance technology courses
Coder House:
in addition to the Digital Marketing and Product courses, there are numerous training courses in Technology that allow you to learn the basics of programming.
Numen Academy
: you can study Marketing, Project Management, Development, Cybersecurity and also languages.
Da Vinci School:
it has a great technological infrastructure.
They offer long careers and also face-to-face and distance courses.
. bootcamps
It is the new trend.
They are short intensive
courses or programs
in which
specific skills
are learned to start
working immediately
.
Teaching takes place in a hands-on learning environment in which real work situations are introduced.
One of its great benefits is that they work closely with companies to identify the needs of the industry, adjusting teaching to the latest trends and practices.
And they combine training in digital skills with soft ones such as teamwork and problem solving.
These are some examples to schedule:
MindHub:
With innovative platforms, it proposes practices to take students from 0 to 100, that is, they do not need to have prior technical knowledge to enroll.
In addition, an academic team synchronously accompanies the learning of the students, not only guiding them but also pretending to be their project leaders, scrum master, and other key roles in the IT world.
“It is gratifying for us to confirm that
90% of our graduates find employment
after completing the program,” said
Vanessa Taiah
, founding partner of MindHub.
Henry:
It is a programming academy that teaches programming with high-quality technologies and helps to get a job.
It has a payment system: "study now, pay when you get a job", which allows everyone to access technological training, regardless of their socioeconomic level. The course they offer is called Full Stack
Developer
.
Platform 5:
It is a programming school 100% oriented to job placement.
They dictate "Coding Bootcamps", full time, which allow a jump from zero to a first job in programming in four months.
They currently give
JavaScript and Salesforce
.
