How to bridge your company’s digital skills gap
With the way we work changing dramatically over the course
of the last two years, it’s necessary to reflect on how working practices have
been effected. While, working from home and flexible working patterns have come
to the forefront, the increasing digital skills gap has remained an
ever-present threat to companies.
As technology continues to develop at a fast pace, employers
are looking to fill the latest tech roles. However, there is a clear shortage
of candidates with the relevant digital skills. With the high costs of
traditional education, the ability to learn valuable digital skills is
determined by socio-economic status. Therefore, people from underrepresented
backgrounds tend to miss out on educational opportunities. As a result, the
skills gap continues to grow, forcing companies to hire candidates from a
depleted talent pool.
By closing the digital skills gap, companies can add
long-term value to their business, while also driving inclusion and diversity
in the workplace. A sustained level of investment is needed for the skills gap
to be closed. As the number of people acquiring digital skills increases, more
tech talent will be generated, something that is vital for the recovery of the
global economy and long-term economic growth.
