2018 was all about the transformation that the labor world is going through, with special focus on the need to fill positions in the ICT sector, with completely new jobs or with the transformation of some already existing ones. According to the Modis Survey on Employment in the ICT sector, 93% of these professionals defend that ICT will encompass the main jobs of the future and 96% think that the digital age will be a driving force for new technological profiles.

According to the Modis Survey on Employment in the ICT sector, the top 5 of the jobs most in demand are completed by specialists in cybersecurity (20%), Big Data (19%) and consultants (6%). In addition, another 6% believe that more profiles are required related to areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Network engineers or mobility developers.

These specialties are, according to KeepCoding, a high performance training center in programming, "highly demanded" by their students, given that only last year more than 10,000 new students enrolled in bootcamps and specialized online courses were registered in our country. in different levels and programming languages.

According to this demand, the great novelties of last year in the field of programming and that will mark this 2019, have been Blockchain and Bitcoin "at the time of generating curiosity", as mattered Adriana Botelho, CEO and co-founder of KeepCoding. But, "when it comes to receiving in-depth training, Big Data and Machine Learning have been for us the big star," continues Botelho. The specialties of Web Development, Mobile and Devops have also aroused great interest. Regarding the latter, Devops, "despite its still new use in Spain, has come to stay and given the almost absolute lack of specialized professionals in the market, it becomes a specialty of high salary," concludes the CEO of KeepCoding.

In parallel, web development, mobile, cryptocurrency, blockchain, Big Data, Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence have been the main specialties of the more than 200 webinars taught by KeepCoding in 2018.

This demand for training in programming guarantees that professionals from different sectors seek to address the need for ICT profiles through specialized training and maximum technical quality in different areas of programming, which allows them to quickly face the new demands and technologies that are they incorporate in an accelerated way to the market, besides accessing a greater number of opportunities when looking for a change of direction in their professional careers.

Thus, within the own KeepCoding job bank, which has more than 600 companies, in 2018 95% of its students have found employment before finishing the bootcamp and the remaining 5% has needed a maximum of 6 months since corresponds to special profiles - with more than 35 years and no previous experience in programming - but who also find their opportunity. In addition, "the volume of offers of our employment exchange is significantly higher than the demand of our students who are looking for a new job," says Adriana Botelho.

For this reason, the high-performance training center seeks to reconvert the paradigm of employability by promoting technological talent through the Accelerate Spain initiative, led by Keepcoding together with leading technology companies such as Accenture, Walters People, Indra and Robert Walters. This movement will debut this 2019 with a great challenge: to turn Madrid into 'the world code capital' with the celebration of the software class with the most students in the world.

It will be the first Guinness Record in the Tech field in Spain and will bring together hundreds of people to face the challenge of scheduling from scratch on January 25th at the La Nave space in Madrid. After this kind of programming, whose registrations are open for free will start, in addition, the free training program of 10,000 scholarships to learn programming Acelera Spain, aimed at people without any previous experience in programming and raised in 10 calls with 1,000 seats each, which will be developed throughout 2019.
