Building Tech Talent

▤ Summary

Right now the data says employers are choosing to “buy” talent in skills like cloud computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and fintech. The report suggests that employers may be missing an opportunity to build the disruptive skills they need by upskilling existing workers. The report examined the career profiles of hundreds of millions of workers to identify the patterns behind these shifting skills. So part of the solution may be more employers investing in building entry-level, diverse opportunities to expand their pipeline of disruptive tech workers. This suggests that one fear employers have about internal training — that giving workers new skills will encourage them to find jobs elsewhere — is overblown.
