The IT sector is continuously expanding, offering a vast array of opportunities, leaving graduates with a plethora of options to choose from. According to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the computer and information technology field is projected to grow by 13 percent between 2016 and 2026, outpacing the average growth rate of all occupations. This growth is estimated to create an additional 557,100 jobs within the industry by 2026.

Currently, there exists a significant digital skills gap that impacts organizations across various sectors of the global economy. Research conducted by the Capgemini Digital Transformation Group in collaboration with LinkedIn revealed that the digital talent gap is no longer solely an HR concern; it affects all aspects of a business. Moreover, the study highlighted that soft digital skills are in higher demand than hard digital skills. Among the most sought-after soft digital skills are "customer-centricity" and a "passion for learning," while the key hard digital skills needed are cybersecurity and cloud computing (source: nu.edu 2021). This situation indicates that now is an opportune time to pursue a Master's in Information Technology Management.
