How are companies responding the skills gap crisis?

Editor’s note

Dear readers,

Technological innovation has accelerated at an incredible pace over the last two years, dramatically changing the way businesses operate forever.

As a result, there’s a growing gap between the skills employees have and the skills companies are looking for.

In Coursera’s new report with HRD Connect, we work to understand the data behind the skills gap and identify the skills trends across different markets, including financial services, tech and manufacturing.

What do you think? Join our exclusive LinkedIn group to discuss this topic, and many others, with our community of senior HR leaders.

All the best,

Amy Kirkham – Senior Content Editor, HRD Connect
