Will we be able to close the Skills GAP Fast enough?

There is a movement to have schools, programs, and employers get together to address the need in closing the skills gap. What we have relied upon traditionally may need to be revisited. There comes a time when we need to ask ourselves is it working? If so, then why are we still in the same predicament of an increasing skills gap? Are we aligning our development programs with the skills that will be needed for the future? Isn’t it time that we try something different? Something different may look like exploring a variety of methods, providing more flexibility, and presenting the true image of opportunity. Finding and developing skilled talent is necessary if we want to win the race.

• Are there programs that can help win the race?
• What methods can be used to assist in closing the skills GAP?
• What impact will the future of machine technology have on the workforce?
