Abstract
The objective of this study was to gather current skill requirements in the blockchain industry so information systems graduates could use the findings for possible employment in the industry. I collected 30 blockchain job announcements from two popular job sites, LinkedIn, and Indeed.com, and then synthesized and organized the findings into two alternate paths that IS graduates may take to pursue careers in this industry: the business and management path requires minimal preparation for the IS graduates, while the technical path is more involved but feasible for them as well. The findings of this study are expected to be of practical help for the IS graduates as well as IS curricula committees in designing and offering courses in blockchain.
