A shortage of necessary skills is currently plaguing IT. And the gap between the skills needed and the skills possessed is growing. Nearly 80% of global IT decision-makers report a lack of skills amongst their employees.
Skills gaps are disrupting organizations and professionals.
Skills gaps aren’t always right in front of you, but they can be hiding in plain sight. You may be falling behind and not even know it. Once you know what to look for, you’re on your way to closing them.
Symptoms of potential skills gaps
