With continued headlines about dismal job growth what growing field is going to produced jobs for 2011 and beyond?  What are the skills required for these jobs?  Think Mobile Technology.  Don’t take my word for it.  Both Info World and Indeed clearly show trending job growth in this area.  What does indeed say where the fastest growing keywords in jobs postings?  HTML5, iPhone, Android, and Mobile App!  What positions are hiring managers and recruiters looking for?  Both Mobile Technology Expert and Enterprise Mobile Developer make the list of hottest jobs.

Seeing these job titles and keywords doesn’t surprise me.  Mobile app development both, web apps or native OS app, are exploding right now.  Companies and organizations are scrabbling to put together mobile strategies for their businesses. 

The biggest challenge I see is finding qualified individuals to fill these positions.  This field is relatively new and changing rapidly.  Universities and colleges are now taking note and beginning to offer classes in this area.  On that point do you want to learn more about Mobile Technology?  There’s a class for that!  In October I am going to be teaching Website Design for Mobile Devices at UWM School of Continuing Education.  Additionally in September I will be teaching a course on Mobile App Marketing at UWM.  I am going to take my 8 years of mobile development experience to teach, coach, and mentor students in this growing area.  I would love to have you in my classes.
