6 dead-end IT skills and how to avoid becoming obsolete
Broaden skills beyond previously high-demand niches to ensure your career continues to thrive in the hybrid, cross-functional, cloud-based future of IT.
When it comes to skills, the secret to future-proofing any IT career is diversification. In a recent Deloitte survey, a majority of CIOs said that one-third of their staff’s current skill sets will not be relevant in the next three years.
In fact, 68 per cent of executives surveyed by Deloitte said their organisation’s skills gap is “moderate-to-extreme,” with 27 per cent rating it as “major” or “extreme.”
The IT landscape is rapidly evolving, and employers are seeking skills in combinations that align with their future needs. To help your career avoid a dead end, we talked with tech leaders to identify areas that are nearing the end of their life cycle and how you can pivot to establish a revamped skillset that will keep your career growing.

Tech Elevator classrooms were in person before COVID-19 restrictions. Campus locations will reopen when it is safe to do so.
Cleveland technology education company Tech Elevator has enjoyed a wild ride since its inception in 2015, which co-founder and CEO Anthony Hughes compares to a rider getting their foot caught in the stirrup of a particularly swift horse.
Far from feeling out of control, Hughes is ready for the adventure s next leg, which began last November, when K12 Inc. acquired Tech Elevator for $23.5 million. Now known as Stride Inc., the Virginia-based public company slotted Hughes creation into Galvanize, a subsidiary purchased last January that offers technology training on 10 campuses. Tech Elevator continues to independently operate six campuses, providing a 14-week boot camp designed to transform students into well-paid software developers.
