Karen Meechan, CEO of ScotlandIS, discusses how Scotland's tech industry, made mostly of small and medium-sized enterprises, is indeed thriving but is struggling to grow as the supply of digital talent is not meeting demands. Meechan has worked with ScotlandIS – an industry body supporting the nation's tech sector – for 20 years. Meechan explains how bodies like ScotlandIS are working towards plugging the digital skills gap but need more support from the government at a local and UK-wide level. ScotlandIS was formed in 1999 through a merger of various industry groups including the Scottish Software Federation. The organisation manages various sector clusters in the country, with its member enterprises employing over 60,000 people.

Flexibel und einfach lernen – das verspricht das Konzept des digitalen Lernens. Egal ob in der Schule, im Studium oder zur beruflichen Weiterbildung, der Einsatz von digitalen Lernmethoden zur Kompetenzvermittlung wird immer beliebter. In der aktuellen Folge von „Das Ohr am Netz“ sprechen Sidonie und Sven mit ihren Gästen darüber, wie digitales Lernen verändert, wie wir lernen - und zwar in jedem Alter. Mit Thomas Schmidt, Geschäftsführer bei Helliwood media & education, spricht SIdonie darüber, wie digitale Lernmethoden schon in der frühkindlichen Bildung zum Einsatz kommen können. Warum sollte man schon von früh an auf Medienkompetenz setzen? Was sollten Eltern, Erzieher:innen und Lehrkräfte wissen, wenn es um digitales Lernen im Kindesalter geht? Und wie verändert sich dadurch vielleicht sogar unsere Lernkultur und unser Bildungssystem? Thomas Schmidt hat darauf Antworten. Professor Christoph Meinel, Gründer der German University of Digital Science (GUDS), berichtet im Gespräch mit Sidonie von dem Gründungsprozess der ersten voll-digitalen Universität in Deutschland. Außerdem geht es darum, was die Vorteile der rein digitalen Lehre sind und wo er und seine Partner Herausforderungen sehen. Professor Barbara Schwarze ist Teil des Vorstandes der Initiative D21 sowie Vorsitzende des Kompetenzzentrums Technik-Diversity-Chancengleichheit. Im Gespräch mit Sven spricht sie über den Digital Skills Gap in Deutschland, was es braucht, um die Lücke der digitalen Kompetenzen in der Gesellschaft und auf dem Arbeitsmarkt zu schließen und welchen Beitrag digitales Lernen hier leisten kann.

In this episode of Work in Progress, we examine the critical issue of closing the digital divide in the Hispanic community. Hispanic workers are 14% of overall workers, but represent 35% of workers with no digital skills and 20% of those with limited digital skills. Digital skills are crucial to obtaining gainful employment and resources to support their families. In March, WorkingNation partnered with SXSW EDU to bring together a panel of outstanding leaders in the Hispanic community to examine solutions to this important issue. Our Closing the Hispanic Digital Skills Gap panel featured Hector Mujica, Economic Opportunity lead Americas, Google.org; Frankie Miranda, president & CEO, Hispanic Federation; and Domenika Lynch, executive director, Aspen Institute Latino and Society Program. The panel was moderated by John-Carlos Estrada, anchor, CBS Austin. There is a lot of information in the discussion about solutions, with some excellent ideas floated by this very thoughtful group. In the conversation, Lynch cites the Pathways to Digital Skills Development for Latino Workers report, a collaboration between the Latino and Society Program and Upskill America. These findings are from a national survey and in-depth interviews with employers of Latino frontline workers and workforce development organizations, and include a call-to-action to help get this workforce the skills they need to succeed in today's labor market. It was released after the discussion in Austin in March. There's a lot more information and suggestions in the report, and I encourage you to read it for yourself to get more details.

The pandemic has deeply changed how we functioned at our workplaces, exacerbating the already existing need for IT and technology skills for today's and tomorrow's jobs. Going by the conclusion of a study conducted by Cisco, “75% of IT decision-makers around the world said their teams face a shortage of skills and skilled workers. Job postings for tech roles far outpace non-tech jobs, which is 30% up from pre-pandemic levels.”The future of work and our economy relies on a commitment to address the growing digital skills gap in Canada that has been accelerated by COVID-19. To discuss this, we have the President of Cisco Canada, Shannon Leininger as our guest on the podcast today.

Recent survey data from ETR shows that enterprise tech spending is tracking with projected U.S. GDP growth at 6-7% this year. Many markers continue to point the way to a strong recovery including hiring trends and the loosening of frozen IT project budgets. However, skills shortages are blocking progress at some companies, which bodes well for an increased reliance on external IT services. Moreover, while there’s much talk about the rotation out of work from home plays such as video conferencing, VDI and other remote worker tech, we see organizations still trying to figure out the ideal balance between funding HQ investments that have been neglected and getting hybrid work ‘right.’ In particular, the talent gap combined with a digital mandate means companies face some tough decisions as to how to fund the future while serving existing customers; and transforming culturally.

The US oil and gas sector is facing several huge transitions all at once: the immediate crisis brought on by the pandemic and a longer-term energy transition away from fossil fuels. Today we're looking at a third shift confronting the US upstream: digital transformation and the need for the oil and gas workforce to catch up in this area. A new survey by Ernst & Young found a major digital skills gap among the oil and gas workforce, and the pandemic is increasing the urgency to close it. About 92% of oil and gas executives surveyed believe their companies need to change the way they operate coming out of the downturn, but less than half said they have a robust plan to reskill staff and capture the value of digital transformation. Tim Haskell, EY's US oil and gas people advisory services leader, tells us some other findings from the survey and how the industry's response to this challenge will determine future growth. Stick around after the interview for the Market Minute, a near-term look at oil market drivers.

Many know, that my journey into the Digital Skills Gap, started with Birmingham Tech Week. If I didn't have the opportunity to talk about the Digital Skills Gap, then I don't know whether what we have achieved would have snowballed to where it is now, but all good things have to start somewhere! The last 12 weeks of Lockdown and more recently the shocking death of George Floyd, has taken me on a personal emotional rollercoaster, and Yiannis and I face up to facts and what we can do to support our communities! Yiannis and I go deep into the ways he has had to adjust and what the journey of Birmingham Tech Week looked like; from just an idea to a reality in all but 3 months! We look into throwing yourself into work, and actually what one should do to detach from work/home life through looking after yourself and giving yourself time! This episode is a real treat and something I was very much looking forward to recording and listening back to! https://www.linkedin.com/in/yiannismaos/ #recx #emotionalrollercoasters #mentalhealth #birminghamtech #strongertogether

Quentyn Taylor from canon joined us to chat about Reducing the digital skills gap in Africa; Stanfford Masie also joins us to discuss how artificial intelligence can increase job creation.Plugging the gap – how businesses can resolve Europe's digital skills shortage Digital transformation is revolutionizing the European workplace, with its ability to streamline processes, reduce expenditure and enhance the service offering. Rapidly advancing digital technologies are already being used in hundreds of sectors, including farming, healthcare, transport, education, retail, home automation and logistics. The demand for information and communications technology specialists is growing fast – so much so that according to the European Commission, 9 out of 10 jobs in the future will require digital skills.At the same time though, 169 million Europeans between 16 and 74 years – 44% – do not have basic digital skills. This means that the benefits that digitization can drive are quite literally under threat as Europe is failing to produce enough IT graduates. What's worse is that as the pace of technological development snowballs, this gulf is widening. The prospect of 500,000 unfilled jobs in the European IT sector by 2020 is very real and looming. Businesses cannot expect governments to tackle this crisis on their own. Firstly, disruptive and revolutionary innovations will always affect private companies before they affect the state – because businesses tend to try out new technologies before governments do. As a result, nobody understands the implications of and reasons for the digital skills gap better than the businesses that are directly suffering the consequences.Secondly, with a capable and trained workforce, businesses stand to benefit enormously from digitization. Any organization, large or small, can contribute to tackling the growing digital skills gap, either by addressing it within their own function or by providing skills training more widely.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
