Technological professions most in demand in 2021

If you want to pursue a technological career, either by vocation or by the possible job opportunities you have, surely it will be good for you to know the most demanded professions in the sector in 2021. In this forecast written by educators from WriteAnyPapers.com, we present a list of the most attractive jobs and with more future projections so that you can better guide your studies.

Deciding what to study is one of the most interesting processes one can undertake, although it is not without complexity. As we already told you in another previous article in which we talked about the careers with greater employability, a career is usually chosen by vocation, or by looking at the job market.

Either because you have a technological vocation or because you want to be part of the professions with the most demand today and with a greater projection, we are going to tell you which technology-related careers you can value to complete your curriculum. 

A scientific or technological career is a good base from which to start. Mathematics and physics provide a good knowledge base for further specialization through courses or masters. Engineering, such as computer science or telecommunications, are good examples of careers that can lead you to that profession you are looking for. 

Keep in mind that it is vital to maintain a philosophy of continuous training, always ready to recycle knowledge, update, take courses and, also, consider a master's degree to help us in our specialization.

The technological world is changing at breakneck speed, and it is very possible that the most fashionable professions this year will be very different from those that will emerge four years from now. In this area, it is necessary to keep up-to-date, always attentive to emerging trends. 

The most demanded tech professions in 2021, according to experts

We wanted to consult an expert to tell us, according to his vision, which are the professions that need the most talent in 2021. We spoke with the Innovation Manager & Co-Founder at SocialPubli, to tell us his five choices main.

 Juan Antonio agrees with the opinion that scientific careers will provide you with a good knowledge base from which to start, later on, completing your specialization through a master's degree or postgraduate courses.

Let's look at your top five tech professions in 2021. 

Voice app developer

Voice applications are in more and more places. We have them on smartphones, to be able to execute tasks or open applications, even search by voice; we have them in voice-driven home assistants; we use them in the car, to execute some basic commands.  

This trend is not going to stop growing, so specializing in the development of voice applications is a good bet for an expanding work future. 

Marketing Automation Expert

What is marketing automation? It is about using specific software to carry out marketing actions in an automated way. In other words, it is about introducing a certain degree of automation into the processes that give companies or institutions the possibility to gain in efficiency, productivity, and conversions (that is, in customer acquisition).

Mastering marketing automation opens the doors to endless jobs. For example, in the field of consulting, where you can specialize in auditing processes, advising on the most appropriate technologies to implement in companies, training sales teams, and much more.

Big Data Specialist

The ability to collect, analyze and turn into knowledge the enormous amounts of data that a company collects (and that, in addition, comes from very diverse sources) makes Big Data professionals one of the most attractive profiles. This discipline is very vast, so the professional opportunities are diverse, for example:

  • Analysts and data scientists, who analyze and transform data into useful information for companies.
  • Big Data Architect, the data architect.
  • Chief Data Officer (CDO), the person responsible for data in the company, from a technological and business point of view, and also with respect to security and regulatory compliance.
  • Specialist in machine learning (automatic learning), especially applied to analytical tools.

Expert in Biometrics

Your computer may ask you to see your face to allow you access; a fingerprint reader allows you to enter a restricted area; your voice can unlock an app. These are all examples of applications of biometrics in access systems.

Biometrics is, in its most academic definition, "the taking of standardized measurements of living beings or biological processes," and then applying them to different fields. For example, security: biometric authentication is the application of mathematical and statistical techniques on someone's physical features in order to verify their identity.

This is one of the professions with the most future since this type of technology will be used more and more.

Blockchain Expert

Blockchain is, surely, one of the most used words during the last two years in technology. Sure, it will sound like Bitcoin to you, but the reality is that there are many more blockchain applications that open the door to many jobs.

Blockchain is a technology based on distributed database systems, with which information is stored in closed "blocks" that cannot be modified, once validated. This involves applications such as identity management, registration, and data verification; smart contracts; applications in notary; applications in the sharing economy. It is, without a doubt, one of the technologies with the most future, there will be work there.
