Amid an exciting turnaround, Chicago's tech job market is set to add 2,135 new roles in 2024, rebounding strongly from previous declines. As opportunities grow, the need for accessible and effective career resources becomes crucial. CompTIA's Career Explorer offers a vital service by demystifying the tech industry and opening doors for a broader demographic.

It highlights important job market data, including openings and salary expectations, tailored to enhance understanding and readiness for tech roles.

Aimed at transforming the local tech landscape, the platform equips future tech professionals — including those making career transitions – with the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed. It ensures that Chicago’s tech workforce is diverse, well-informed and prepared to thrive in a booming industry.

As a Chicago-area resident, I witness firsthand the positive impact of empowering locals with the tools to explore and excel in tech careers, proving tech is not just for Silicon Valley but also for the heart of the Midwest.
