Business Reporter: Addressing the technology skills gap
Creating your own team of talented technologists doesn't have to be hard
LONDON, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In a video published on Business Reporter, Becs Roycroft, Senior Director of Global Emerging Talent Operations and Reskill at Emerging Talent & Technology provider mthree, explores how the skills gap in technology can be addressed.
Finding, training and retaining talent is a problem in industries that are experiencing fast moving changes to technology. Organizations have a number of options when it comes to recruiting: in-house HR teams, external job boards or standard recruitment agencies. But these can end up being costly.
mthree have a different approach. They take emerging talent from colleges and universities and train people in the technology their clients need. Once trained, their "Alumni" are embedded into roles at client organisations and supported with continued skills development.
This is effective because the knowledge people gain at university is not always the knowledge that they need at work. Universities don't have access to real life business problems that bring theory to life and therefore cannot train people to be enterprise ready professionals.
mthree also help organisations reskill their existing staff, taking them from roles that may be disappearing and retraining them with new skills that are in high demand.
"75 million jobs in 20 major economies are expected to be displaced by 2022. At the same time, technological advances and new ways of working could also create 133 million new roles."
Technological change is shifting workplace requirements rapidly. By building a pool of talented employees who are upskilled continuously, employers can future-proof their workforce.
