Today's Workforce Challenges
The working environment is not a conflict-free zone, and this brings a range of issues that can affect the workforce.
The Digital Skills Shortage
Recruiting, training, and retaining tech talent is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. With over 192,000 new tech roles created in 2021, and only 75,000 college graduates with related degrees, more than 900,000 tech positions were left unfilled. With this gap growing exponentially year over year, the need to invest in creating more tech talent at a faster pace is clearer than ever.
Lack Of Workers With Advanced Skills And Credentials
Unskilled labor is generally characterized by a lower educational attainment.
Lack Of Agile, Adaptable Workers That Can Keep Pace With Rapid Industry Evolution
Company is not able to constantly meet its ever-changing workforce targets.
A Need for more rapid and responsive workforce training and “up-skilling” models
Upskilling ensures employees’ skillsets will not become obsolete and shows that you care about their careers and futures.
