Session Details

Digital transformation is largely driven by industry players. Private companies are also at the forefront of innovation and technology development, as well as the adaptation of digital technologies in business processes and the development of new business models. The demand for a digitally skilled workforce is high, not only in the ICT industry but also in other economic sectors. This session will give the voice to industry representatives to discuss the core skills required to foster digital transformation, look at prospective growth industry sectors and related skills priorities. They will also share examples of how companies adjust to the rapid technological changes through effective skilling, re-skilling and upskilling programmes, as well as talent acquisition. Another objective of the session is to shed light on market needs related to digital transformation, which will help policy makers and training institutions to adjust their digital skills programmes and strategies.
