COVID-19 hits the world hard.


COVID-19 pandemic hit hard on the world. 1.6 billion students learning online, millions of people losing their jobs, while so many businesses could not survive and adapt to the changed reality. In Cambodia key economic sectors, such as tourism, manufacturing exports and construction have experienced the most challenging times. There is a hope that vaccination would help to take this epidemic under control, but it is obvious that the world will never be the same.

Digital skills are key in the new world.


COVID-19 pandemic is reloading reality with more opportunities for those, who love technology and have the skills to create new solutions and use it for the benefits. Despite so many challenges in traditional industries, technology-focused industries and people are getting just fine through this hard time. IT companies and start-ups, as well as people with strong digital skills, can work online and expand to more countries, while not even leaving their home.

The demand for programmers and designers did not decrease. Actually, more career possibilities, especially in remote working, have been introduced. With economies recovering from pandemics, and more technological solutions introduced, there is a growing demand for IT professionals with different skill-set all around the world. However, there is a growing gap between what businesses are looking for and what skills are available.
  
While the world is in the transition, the best solution for people is to review what is their current status, what skills they have and are those skills are in demand now and in the future?
