Looking Ahead 2025: The Future of Tech Skills and Talent

December 11, 2024, at 12:00pm EST

What we’ll cover:

2024’s Predictions Recap: When we surveyed 250 tech employers and 1,000+ tech workers in early 2024, we asked many pressing questions, including how AI would reshape traditional tech roles and the impact of remote work on talent strategies.

The Reality Check: From unexpected shifts in tech skill demands to surprising discoveries about hiring strategies, we’ll unpack what held true this year—from both talent acquisition and skill development perspectives—and what didn’t.

What This Means, And How to Proceed: We’ll translate these learnings into strategic implications for 2025, from the tech skills that matter most, to the hiring approaches that can help you secure and develop promising tech talent.

What you’ll gain:

Early insight into emerging skill trends before your competitors start hiring for them.

A strategic advantage in understanding what really drives tech talent decisions today.

Clear action items to immediately strengthen your talent development for 2025.

    1:00pm EST

    Tuesday, December 12th, 2023
