Software development
The software development job market is growing faster than most IT jobs. Software developer jobs are expected to increase by 21% by 2028 and application developer jobs by 28%. The reason for this growth is the increasing demand for computer software and mobile phone apps.7
Despite this demand, IT decision-makers say that mobile app development is one of their teams’ weaker skill sets. Any professional certified with these skills will be highly coveted and most likely highly compensated. North American IT professionals who are certified in application development earn nearly $140,000 a year.3
