Networking skills shortage to continue
Increasing adoption of various networking technologies, especially those outside of traditional core routing and switching, is creating a skills gap in the market, says eChanneline.
An IDC white paper, sponsored by Cisco Learning Institute, found that there is a 60 000-person shortfall in the supply of networking talent, and the skills shortage is expected to continue through to 2011.
Although there is a skills shortage in all areas of networking in North America, including routing and switching, the biggest shortages are in what Cisco Systems refers to as "advanced technologies", which includes wireless, security, unified communications, video, etc.
