The aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a lot of changes for everyone, with one of the most significant changes being a shifting job market. In the current environment, it can be difficult to predict which careers will grow in the future, but there are definitely some fields in high demand.   If you’re looking for a job or making a career switch, keep reading to find out the top five growing career fields in 2022.  

1.   Information Technology

IT was already one of the fields with the most projected growth, but the need for remote work and online learning has only increased the need for software developers. In addition, IT professionals are needed in nearly every industry, which creates a strong demand and a lot of potential for a lucrative career.   The BLS projects a growth of 13% in the IT field within the next decade, which is over 667,000 jobs. At Computek College, we offer several courses in the field of Information Technology, including cybersecurity, mobile app development, network engineering, and much more.  

2.   Healthcare

It goes without saying that the healthcare industry faced some of its biggest challenges in the past two years. Healthcare professionals were greatly affected by the pandemic, causing over one-third of healthcare workers to consider leaving their jobs.   There was already a shortage of healthcare workers prior to the pandemic—meaning that healthcare is definitely one of the top growing fields for the years to come. Computek College offers diploma programs in Early Childcare Assistance, Community Service Work, Medical Office Administration, as well as certificate courses to become a Personal Support Worker or Personal Care Aide.  

3.   Business

If numbers and statistics are your strong suit, then a career in business and finance will be right up your alley. Financial managers, management analysts, and statisticians are projected to be among the most lucrative fields of the next decade.   If this appeals to you, check out Computek College’s courses on Business Administration, Accounting, Payroll, and Tax, and more.  

4.   Operations Management

Business operations and supply chain management are crucial in ensuring the success of a business. The changes in the manufacturing, production, and delivery methods of companies over the pandemic have caused a need for operations managers, logistics analysts, and more.   Fortunately, Computek College’s Business Operations, Sales, and Strategy (BOSS) program covers everything you need to know to excel in this field.  

5.   Marketing

Marketing is a field that continues to grow and evolve, making it a field with several in-demand job positions.
