The public sector is struggling to build a future workforce and IT departments are not immune to these challenges.

In a July 2022 Center for Digital Government survey of state and local government IT leaders, an overwhelming 94% of respondents said they are experiencing challenges in recruiting qualified technologists to fill open positions, particularly in cybersecurity and data analytics roles. More than one-third of survey respondents noted vacancy rates of 10% to 20%.
