Closing the Skills Gap
Current research suggests over the next decade, there will be an immense gap between the skills workers employees currently have and those they will need to help their employers succeed. A Study by Korn Ferry suggests in the Technology, Media and Telecommunications sector alone, U.S. companies will have unrealized output of more than $162 billion between now and 2030 as a result of the shortage of skilled labor. At the same time, a recent survey by Deloitte found 70% of employees and 60% of company executives are dissatisfied with the investment in professional development, and only 41% of workers believe they have the skills to thrive.
