Solving industry’s
digital skills gap
Rapid and widespread digitalisation has changed
the nature of virtually all industries. Employees and
organisations increasingly need digital skill sets to work
and keep up to date with rapidly changing technological
advancements.
Automation and digital technologies are revolutionising
industry, from agriculture to manufacturing. By the end
of this decade, an estimated 1.2 million digital workers
will be needed in Australia.*
Current projections indicate there will be a shortfall in
the region of 653,000 skilled IT workers. In the digital
age, employers are struggling with skills gaps within
their organisations. This is a significant challenge which
is holding back many organisations.
To succeed in the digital revolution, individuals need to
identify their current and future skill needs and address
the gaps to stay current, employable and promotable.
