In-demand skills are so called because the demand for them is currently higher than the supply. Therefore, learning one of these skills, you instantly become the kind of person that wealthy business owners and top companies across the world are looking for even as you are reading this.
Thus, not only that learning any of these skills makes it extremely easy for you to find a job, you are also highly respected while getting well-paid.
Because of how much they need people with these skills, the numerous companies seeking to fill these roles care less about your certificate or resume. Instead, what they mostly want from you is to demonstrate your ability to fill the respective roles effectively.
As Forbes Contributor Rachel Wells wrote in June 2024, "to be able to make the case for remote work to your employer, or even to secure a remote role at a remote-first or flexible working company, you need to be able to demonstrate that you have the necessary skills".
So, Here's An Opportunity To Learn An In-demand Tech Skill Much More Easily And Faster: Join Our Challenge
Today's economy is hugely data-driven. So, it is not difficult to see why data skills continue to top the lists of in-demand tech skills (as you can see on the infographic above).
As Upwork also testifies, data analysts are currently paid between $20 and $50 per hour...
At the current rates, this amounts to an hourly minimum wage of over Thirty-one Thousand Naira ₦31,000).So, in partnership with Oremus International, we have launched a program where we teach people data analysis in 3 weeks (taught in an extremely simplified manner as if the attendees are in elementary school. However, this means that the 3 weeks are fully occupied. It's why we call it a challenge).
