Celebrating National Coding Week 2024: Role of AI in Shaping the Future of Tech Talent

How AI is Shaping the Future of Tech Talent in the UK, Ireland, and Channel Islands

As National Coding Week 2024 kicks off on 16 September, GAP Talent is proud to support this year’s theme: Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the UK, Ireland, and Channel Islands, AI and tech skills shortages remain a pressing issue, with recent data showing 61% of UK businesses reporting difficulties in finding skilled IT professionals. Meanwhile, Ireland’s demand for tech workers continues to grow, driven by industries such as fintech, with AI playing a pivotal role in reshaping the workforce.
