Go behind the scenes of Alyra's blockchain training

Despite the current economic context, the blockchain sector is seeing a real enthusiasm for employment. In order to meet this new demand, there are schools such as Alyra, a French school certifying in blockchain, for those who wish to get professionally involved in this universe.

The Blockchain Job Market Today

In France alone, the sector employed nearly 1,200 people in January 2022, 500 more than last year according to a national study carried out by KPMG France and published by the Association for the Development of Digital Assets (ADAN).

In addition, with the 1.2 billion euros that have been raised by the 29 companies surveyed, they plan to employ more than 2,400 people from next year, double since the beginning of this year. Enthusiastic forecasts, but not without arguments when looking at the polls in the report:

All French blockchain companies are recruiting with a vengeance, but the whole world is not left out. Ads on LinkedIn containing the terms “Bitcoin”, “Ethereum”, or “blockchain” increased by 395% in the United States during the year 2021.

Additionally, a report of MarketsAndMarkets states that the current blockchain market across the world is worth $4.9 billion and is expected to reach $67.4 billion by 2026, thanks in particular to funding from venture capital funds which have been pouring in massively since 2021.

For all these reasons, blockchain is a real booming technology sector, with a demand for labor much greater than the available supply.
