From the early days of Microsoft’s Windows 3.0 release and the personal computer to smart phones and tablets and Google’s self-driving cars, this revolution has completely changed the world at a very rapid pace.

This tech evolution has created the need for thousands of general and specialized IT jobs, and is continuing to do so—with a projected 18% growth in tech jobs by 2022. This rapid growth has modeled the skilled tech workers we see today and resulted in the next generation of IT professionals.
