Then IT 15 00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:40,950 jobs are expected to grow by 22% till 16 00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:44,280 2020. Now remember, guys, we are in to 17 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,830 2018, and in two years, it's gonna 18 00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:52,920 increase by 22%. 68% of companies are 19 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,340 struggling to find qualified IT 20 00:00:56,490 --> 00:01:02,790 candidates.
