ATLAS: New Horizons Free Skills Assessment Tool
Both workers and employers are discovering that as we are becoming more digitized, many jobs are becoming obsolete, and new jobs often require skills we may not have. A report from McKinsey found that as many as 375 million workers worldwide may need to switch occupations because of digitization and automation.
What is the Skills Gap?
The 'skills gap' is the difference between the skills that employers need and those available in the available job pool. With more businesses realizing that investing in technology can help them become more profitable and competitive, they discover that their employees lack the skills they need to help them compete. A report from ManpowerGroup found that talent shortages in the U.S. have more than tripled over the last ten years. As a result, employers find it increasingly difficult to find workers who have the training they are looking for to step into these roles.
