The world of work has changed forever. But as organisations embrace digital transformation, skills in business, technology and data analysis are rapidly becoming short in supply. According to McKinsey & Company, a management consulting business, almost nine (87%) out of 10 employers worldwide believe they either already have a skills gap, or will have one within a few years – an issue that’s expected to lead to 85m jobs being unfilled by 2030.
In the UK, there’s a real desire among the workforce to upskill. A poll of 4,000 people found that seven out of 10 workers believe new skills will help them achieve their career goals this year, including promotions and increased job satisfaction.
