    Key Findings from the 2025 Report

    Record High Participation Rates in Project Services

    Project Services has recorded incremental growth of 1.59%, for a record high in this skill vertical. This may be attributed to an increase in digital and infrastructure transformation projects across government and corporate organisations.

    An increase of 1.17 percentage points in the last 12 months and steadily increasing from 32% in 2019, the rapidly expanding Digital vertical suggests government initiatives and inclusive hiring practices may be contributing to a broader talent pool.

    Low Women’s Participation in Emerging Tech
