In a fast-growing Web3 and digital job market, where demand for qualified professionals far outstrips supply, Blockchain Business School (BBS) is proving to be a valuable ally. This school offers specialized training in blockchain, effectively preparing its students to excel in this evolving sector and responding to business demand.
The digital and Web3 job market is booming
Many cryptocurrency enthusiasts aspire to a career in this fast-growing sector. However, retraining in a new field can seem daunting, and approaching a new job market can initially prove complex.
Indeed, in some sectors, a shortage of jobs or a high supply can make it difficult to find a position. Nevertheless, the digital and Web3 job market is expanding rapidly and is not saturated.
According to the Grande École Numérique (GEN), a public interest group initiated by the French government, project managers occupy 1st place in the ranking of professions most in need of digital talent, closely followed by product managers in 6th place.
On January 1, 2024, the “Management/Steering” category was the job family under greatest pressure. This category includes digital project managers and product managers, which also feature in the top 3 most in-demand professions, ahead of e-commerce, technical support and SEO.
In 2020, PwC, a professional services provider and auditing firm, forecast the creation of 500,000 new jobs thanks to the development of the blockchain sector in France by 2030.
Furthermore, OPIIEC estimates that 78% of companies in the digital sector are suffering from a shortage of qualified blockchain personnel, and 69% would be willing to recruit candidates with little experience.
Indeed, despite a market downturn in 2022, as Adan points out in its annual report, cryptocurrency adoption in France continues to grow, with now around 12% of French people owning cryptocurrencies, up from 8% 1 year earlier.
The growing interest in digital professions correlates with the increase in cryptocurrency adoption as well as with the development of businesses in the sector.
Adan reports that 84% of companies in the blockchain industry expect to resume hiring in 2024, with 29% planning to double their sales year-on-year.
In a constantly evolving ecosystem, marked by the regular emergence of innovations, it’s crucial to stay informed about the direction the sector is taking through optimal training. In this respect, one institution stands out as a leader in Web3 training, the Blockchain Business School (BBS).
