and decentralized infrastructure devoid of the control by one person are hallmarks of the emerging technology. With Blockchain now considered a core IT business strategy \u2013 and blockchain business use cases on the rise \u2013 a theory that is gaining a solid foothold across multiple industries and sectors is taking shape.\n\nThe theory posits that companies that control today\u2019s blockchain talent may rule over tomorrow\u2019s Blockchain industry. The reasoning is that blockchain skills and expertise will be in high demand in the next few years. With forecasts predicting massive Blockchain adoption across multiple industries and sectors, the technology\u2019s business applications will evolve from supporting transactions to providing market-driven blockchain-based products, services, and applications.\n\nWith the growing demand for traceable and secure online transactions, blockchain-based businesses are actively raising capital to increase their reach to attract top blockchain talent. Highly skilled, certified Blockchain knowledge workers will be trailblazers architecting next-generation digital products and solutions. These innovations \u2013 optimized to leverage the tech\u2019s strengths \u2013 are expected to create significant market value and new revenue opportunities across multiple business use cases.\n<h3>The Blockchain Outlook \u2013 In the Light of Stats<\/h3>\n<h5>According to Techjury;<\/h5>\n<ul>\n \t<li>44% of gamers use Blockchain to trade or buy items in a game;<\/li>\n \t<li>55% of the commercial healthcare services will adopt Blockchain by 2025;<\/li>\n \t<li>In 2018, the service and distribution sector invested $379 million in Blockchain technology;<\/li>\n \t<li>In 2018, the manufacturing and resources sector allocated $334 million for Blockchain technology;<\/li>\n \t<li>Even nonprofit\u2019s foundations and charities are now adopting Blockchain currencies.<\/li>\n \t<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Blockchain as a Transformative Business Solution<\/h3>\nWith the rapid rise of the blockchain industry \u2013 along with the impactful and exciting opportunities for innovating next-generation digital products and solutions, professionals from various backgrounds are pursuing careers in the Blockchain field.\n\nIndeed.com revealed that in January 2018, a considerable rise was seen in the number of candidates looking for positions in Bitcoin, Blockchain, and cryptocurrency. Compared to the classified ads posted at that time, there were not enough open positions to satisfy the job seekers\u2019 inquiries.\n\nTwo short years later, Blockchain has topped the list of LinkedIn\u2019s most in-demand skills of 2020. Moreover, Blockchain is the top priority for employers hiring in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, and Australia, LinkedIn found. Remarkably, 2020 is the first-time Blockchain made it onto LinkedIn\u2019s rankings of in-demand skills. With its debut as the most sought-after skill in 2020, the future looks very bright for job seekers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders in this space.\n<h3>What Blockchain Talent Should Your Business Seek?<\/h3>\n<p>With industries outside the financial services sector increasingly seeking talent with Blockchain experience, competition for skilled professionals will be significant. Industries like retail, shipping, healthcare, farming, gaming, and more have joined the Financial Services sector in seeking credentialed, certified Blockchain professionals. As such, it\u2019s essential to be aware of the most in-demand roles of Blockchain across the global enterprises to determine how and where your business should allocate the resources for recruiting the right candidates.<\/p>\n<h3>After studying the research carried out by U.S. Tech Hubs, published on Builtin.com, four key roles account for 82% of the open positions in the industry, including:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Software engineering;<\/li>\n<li>Marketing;<\/li>\n<li>Operations;<\/li>\n<li>Finance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Software engineering<\/h3>\n<p>Software engineering roles account for around 44% of the open blockchain positions. There are many different kinds of software engineers, with a range of expertise and specialized skillsets.\n\nThis is attributed to the reasoning that blockchain skills and expertise will be in high demand in the next few years as blockchain is predicted to be adopted by most businesses and industries by then; and this adoption will not only be in terms of transactions but also in the shape of blockchain-driven products, services and apps. To keep pace with the increasing demand for traceable and secure online transactions, blockchain businesses are raising capital and increasing their reach to the right blockchain talent.<\/p>\n<h3>Software Engineering<\/h3>\n<p>Software engineering roles account for around 44% of the open blockchain positions. There are many different kinds of software engineers, with a range of expertise and specialized skillsets. When we talk about the Blockchain, the most in-demand skill sets and coding languages are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Front End \u2013 24%<\/li>\n<li>Javascript \u2013 13%<\/li>\n<li>Java \u2013 13%<\/li>\n<li>Golang \u2013 7%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Marketing<\/h3>\n<p>Open marketing positions account for 17% of the blockchain positions. Blockchain is a relatively new industry, and most people don\u2019t yet fully understand what it is or how it works. Therefore, it\u2019s critically important to have a great marketing team to convey your business message to diverse stakeholders and audiences.<\/p>\n<h3>Operations<\/h3>\n<p>Operations are one of Blockchain\u2019s most in-demand roles, accounting for around 13% of all blockchain positions. Within Operations, the most sought after skill sets are operations management and information technology (IT):<\/p>\n<ul><li>Management &#8211; 31%;<\/li>\n<li>IT &#8211; 31%;<\/li>\n<li>Customer Support &#8211; 15%;<\/li>\n<li>Customer Success &#8211; 15%;<\/li>\n<h3>Finance<\/h3>\n<p>The Blockchain industry\u2019s roots are in financial services. There are 8% of open blockchain roles attributed to the financial sector. Blockchain\u2019s Financial professionals typically include an advisory role in assisting marketing and operations teams to gain a more technical understanding of its Blockchain-based products and services.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to Begin?<\/h3>\n<p>It is not sufficient to have programming knowledge in one specific field. Becoming a talented blockchain engineer necessitates a substantial time investment in acquiring the competency and familiarity with a wide range of tools as well as the related technologies.\n\nThese considerations have important implications for businesses seeking to adopt Blockchain as a core IT initiative. Depending on bandwidth considerations \u2013 and in-house teams\u2019 core competencies \u2013 in some cases, companies might be better served by in-house retraining to accomplish their goals. Alternatively, third-party talent agencies provide stop-gap measures to help scale and support Blockchain-related initiatives. Still, the process of searching and vetting qualified candidates can be lengthy and unpredictable.<\/p>\n<h3>Blockchain Certified Tech Talent Pipeline: Workforce Development Training Validated Through Digital Badging, Microcredentials, and Professional Certification<\/h3>\n<p>A third viable option potentially offering businesses and hiring managers tremendous added value \u2013 along with speed to market \u2013 is the emergence of certified Blockchain training courses and programs offered by top tier College and University Continuing Education &#038; Workforce Development Programs.\n\nThese programs offer unique advantages to the business community. For starters, they provide numerous tuition and payment assistance options for people who suffered job losses due to the COVID pandemic. These institutions also rely on well-established digital badging credentials to validate and verify their students\u2019 earned competencies. Additionally, for Blockchain-related skills training, the University\u2019s Extended Learning programs utilize a powerful next-generation digital learning and online community platform called \u2018Blockchain Hub 360\u2019. This platform \u2013 the first of its kind in the Continuing Education\/Workforce Development sector \u2013 delivers University partners premier Blockchain courses and bundled certificate programs. Additionally, the Hub offers its students, members, and partners professional networking, job placement, online career fairs, virtual hackathons, conferences, events, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blockchain networks built on novel principles like permission-less use, open access, and decentralized infrastructure devoid of the control by one person are hallmarks of the emerging technology.
