Technology job growth is expected to be significant in the coming few years and Terry Erdle, senior vice president in skills certification at CompTIA, noted that the demands of the industry are changing.
"Trends in technology are changing the employment landscape," he said. "It doesn't mean that we don't need people. It's just a different kind of job."
