Organizations are rethinking how they build IT talent, turning inward to develop the people they already have. Rather than hiring externally, many are investing in internal mobility, giving employees new paths to grow into technical roles.
Business professionals like finance analysts and operations managers are stepping into IT through mentorship and hands-on training, helping close talent gaps while preserving institutional knowledge and culture.
That same mindset is shaping leadership.
