The Skills Gap

The skills gap refers to the disparity between the skills employers need and the skills job seekers possess. As industries evolve and adopt new technologies, the demand for certain competencies grows, often outpacing the training and education available to workers. This can lead to a mismatch where qualified candidates are difficult to find for specific roles, impacting productivity and economic growth. Addressing the skills gap requires collaboration between educational institutions, employers, and governments to ensure that workers are equipped with relevant and in-demand skills.
