Per Gartner, 64% of managers don’t think their employees are able to keep pace with future skill needs. Furthermore, 70% of employees say they haven’t even mastered the skills they need for their jobs today. This distils to the fact that despite a huge influx as well as claims of people possessing digital skills, the matching of demand vs supply of digital jobs are grossly inadequate. In this challenging environment most, digital talents are simply moving the goalpost from one engagement to the next without a clear direction to take control of their careers.
