“ Too many organisations don ’ t understand the skills their current and future workers will need in the evolving digital economy . Organisations need to future-proof themselves for the rapid technological changes ahead over the next decade by enrolling workers in digital upskilling and reskilling programmes , providing their workforce with the education , technical knowledge , skills and resources needed to thrive in future working environments .
“ An upskilling mentorship platform targeting the future of work not only helps today ’ s businesses to directly identify skills gaps in their current workforce , but it also helps them to equip their current and future workforce with skillsbased training for the new and emerging job categories of tomorrow ,” he concludes . “ It ’ s imperative businesses take these steps now before it becomes too late . Without digital skills training and guidance for young workers across all sectors , organisations are sure to be left behind as technology continues to evolve past them .”
