"Since the start of the pandemic, every fifth Latvian citizen is considering a career change or acquiring another profession, reveals this year’s Marketing and Public Opinion Research Center SKDS study commissioned by Accenture. When evaluating applications received for the summer season, a noticeable trend among students and general public was considering other career options. The most popular being opportunities in the IT sector, as the industry continues to grow and digital solutions are needed in every sector of economy. We have clearly noticed that a professional working in the tourism industry is able to learn Scala programming, a lawyer can become a DevOps specialist, a musician Android application development and a reporter basic programming. Based on that we have announced additional training courses this autumn," explains Maksims Jegorovs, Head of Accenture in the Baltics.
