IT careers: 3 top skills for 2021

Demand for experienced IT professionals will continue to be strong for the foreseeable future. But if you want an edge in today's competitive job market, sharpen your "CSI" skills: cloud, security, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. More enterprises are hosting their systems and services on cloud platforms for the greater agility and economic advantages they offer, and this trend is expected to grow. For this reason, the ability to develop software that can be easily deployed to the cloud will become increasingly critical. In 2021 and beyond, systems are increasingly expected to be intelligent: self-learning, self-managing, and requiring little to no human intervention.
