Bridging the Skills Gap: Innovative Training for a Competitive Edge
The technology industry’s rapid evolution fuels a significant skills gap as demand for new competencies outpaces qualified professionals, hindering growth and competitiveness. From a partner perspective, navigating the challenges of scale, resource allocation, and the rapid evolution of technology are paramount.
According to IDC, the IT skills shortage is anticipated to affect nine out of ten organizations by 2026, with staggering repercussions: a projected cost of $5.5 trillion attributed to delays, quality issues, and revenue loss. By extension, attempting to address these issues by investing and hiring certified subject matter experts can be impractical and costly.
Additionally, the rapid pace of AI evolution underscores the urgency to stay ahead. Deep understanding and proficiency in these technologies are essential to avoid falling behind competitors.
The 2023 edition of the TD SYNNEX Direction of Technology Report, suggests channel partners are anticipating a shift in the challenges they face between now and 2025. To prepare for these changes, partners should consider investing in the talent pipeline and finding support for the digital transformation of their own companies.
