Shortage Of IT Professionals
The Information Technology sector has been facing a shortage of professionals for some time. The projection is that in Brazil, this shortage will reach 408,000 job vacancies by 2022. Thus, the accumulated losses between 2010 and 2020 already exceed R$167 billion.
Currently, Brazil ranks 10th in the world’s largest markets in the sector. In Latin America, it is the leader and accounts for 40% of the total. Therefore, the country must tackle the labor shortage to avoid missing the chance to become a reference in the sector.
