Abstract
In this #EngShort we look at how we can protect jobs, #upskill and train workers and embrace digitalisation as countries begin to recover from #Covid-19. The impacts of Covid-19 are having lasting effects on our #workforce with many employees out of work or threatened with redundancy. Key sectors that are vital to our growth are experiencing #SkillsShortages including #CyberSecurity, renewable energies, healthcare, agriculture and others. It is vital that we align skills to current and future #industry demands. To meet the demands of an increasing #DigitalEconomy, Government and business investment in #reskilling themselves and individuals will be crucial.
How can we ensure that the job market is providing appropriate skills for employees to meet the demands of the workforce? Comment below to let us know your thoughts!
