With employees quitting their jobs in droves, companies are struggling to find and retain top talent. The good news is that tech hiring has surged over the past year, and there are no signs of that trend slowing anytime soon.  

In fact, according to Dice, “one of the strongest indicators of both the economic recovery and the continuing strength in tech hiring is in activity from the top 50 companies (by posting). During the second quarter, 78% of these organizations increased their hiring.”

The report, published earlier this year, found that “companies are interested in hiring for every part of the tech stack, from the technologists who process and protect data to those who design UX and UI for consumer apps and services.” 

That being said, the report also concluded that “job postings in the second quarter (of 2021) showed that, when it comes to tech skills, the long-standing favorites still hold sway among employers.” 

If you’re hoping to start or move up the latter in a career in tech, these are the top 7 skills you’ll want to learn.  

Top 7 Tech Skills By Job Posting Volume (And Where To Learn Them) 

1. Project Management

Project management is a vital skill for professionals hoping to land management opportunities in the tech industry. Having a certification on project management is a great way to show companies that you are qualified to effectively manage teams and projects.

Why this specific course? 

For starters, it’s got great reviews. But more importantly, it’s a robust course that covers all the basics and it’s geared for those with little to no experience (meaning, it’s great for those hoping to break into the tech industry or project managers that are new to tech projects).  

Project Management

2. SQL

SQL
Start learning now!

Data is a powerful thing… but not by itself. For data to provide insights, you need to know how to retrieve data and how to create databases in order to then analyze it and use it to solve business problems.

By learning SQL, you’ll be able to consolidate data from a variety of sources and turn data into insights.

Why this course?

It promises to take you from beginner to expert over the course of 20.5 hours of lessons. You don’t need any SQL or database experience; all you need is a working computer and some headphones.

3. Java

Java is an object-oriented language and it is mostly used for back-end development projects. Companies like hiring Java Developers because Java is known for being versatile and can be used for programming applications on mobile, desktop, and web. 

This course is designed for beginners and will teach you core programming concepts; the specialization has an applied learning component which will help you build a portfolio of work that you can later use to apply for jobs.

According to the Dice report, “the dominance of Python shows no signs of abating”. Python is listed as a desired skill in a variety of job postings, from data scientists and DevOps engineers to sysadmins.  

In Dice’s words, Python “is a vital element in innumerable organizations’ tech stacks”. 

This specific course has been taken by over 350,000 students and has an overall star rating of 4.5. Those who complete the course are promised to have an understanding of how to create their own Python programs using both Python 2 and Python 3.

5. JavaScript  

JavaScript is one of the most popular coding languages and many argue that it is the default language of the internet. It’s fairly easy to learn and it’s typically already installed on web browsers.

6. Linux

Linux
Enroll now!

Linux is an operating system, and according to recent estimates, most internet servers and data centers are running on a Linux-based operating system. Needless to say, Linux offers plenty of great career prospects, and mastering Linux can give you a competitive advantage over other job applicants.  

Why this course?

Because not only will it help you master Linux, but also because if you complete this course, you will receive a digital badge from The Linux Foundation. The badge confirms your proficiency in open-source software development, Linux, and Git.  

7. Scrum

According to the Dice report, technologists that expand their skillset to include Scrum “will likely find a host of management opportunities opening up.” But even if you aren’t pursuing a career in tech, Scrum is great because it is also used as an agile project management framework.  

Why this course? 

Because it will take you through the entire agile methodology for project management. True to the nature of the topic, the course promises to teach you how to become agile in an agile manner—the course is short and straight to the point.
