Leading the fight against the cloud skills gap

“The tech skills gap will become a major roadblock for economic growth if we don’t empower everyone – regardless of class, race or gender – to skill up for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”

Sarah Franklin
EVP and GM of Platform, Developers and Trailhead at Salesforce

Digital transformation presents an immense opportunity for today’s businesses, but the biggest obstacle they face is that there aren’t enough cloud professionals to go around. The problem is so widespread that 90% of organizations have reported a lack of skills across a range of cloud disciplines, with the shortage of cloud talent doubling in the last three years. LinkedIn’s Emerging Jobs Report 2020 is packed with cloud-based job roles such as Cloud Engineer, Cybersecurity Specialist, Back End Developer, Data Engineer, Full Stack Engineer, Data Scientist, and Artificial Intelligence Specialist. But as a new and still-developing field, the cloud market is struggling to produce the talent needed to fill these roles.

“Within the next two decades, 90% of jobs will require some level of digital proficiency, while the shortage of technical skills continues to grow. However, while there’s a growing need for digital skills, our own research and experience has highlighted an increasing cloud skills gap.”

An innovative approach

To make matters worse, the breakneck speed at which new products are being created and existing platforms enhanced has made it near-impossible for traditional education institutions to keep pace.

It takes an innovative approach to training and education to plug the growing cloud skills gap—those with the expertise and resource to produce this sorely needed talent can have a monumental impact on the future of the cloud tech market.

That’s why we partner with vendors across the cloud space to create ground-breaking upskilling programs and develop new talent that can hit the ground running and help our clients derive value from their cloud platforms immediately.
