What does the technical landscape of the workplace look like in 2022 and beyond? More companies are implementing cloud computing solutions. And as they do, technical teams unlock new productivity and speed to market capabilities.

The skills required for technical roles are no longer exclusive to the job titles they’re traditionally associated with. As companies incorporate some cloud solutions into their infrastructure, most tech employees will require some familiarity with cloud computing technologies. Similarly, DevOps processes for product development offer tech teams greater productivity and are a key factor for the overlap in skills required for roles like developers, cybersecurity specialists, or information architects.

To keep their teams agile, tech leaders should consider how these skills align with their organization’s business priorities. Below is a look at thetechnical skills and topics that saw the most growth on Udemy Businessin the last year. How can you make learning plans to help employees develop the in-demand skills outlined in this article?
