5 Takeaways from Pluralsight’s Survey of Dev Skill Gaps
The sudden move to remote work in 2020 spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic revealed serious gaps in developers’ skills, according to a new survey. The 2021 study took a look at the impact of working from home on developers’ skills and confidence in those abilities, as well as the resources available to close skills gaps.
The percentage of IT workers who feel assured of doing their current jobs dropped from 84% in 2020 to 71% in the current report.
When asked if they would feel confident about having the skills to do their jobs three years from now, the gap was smaller: In 2020, 82% said they would feel confident, down to 76% in the new report.
Sixty percent of practitioners who work for technology companies said they want opportunities for professional development and learning from their next job.
