Disruption, exacerbated by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, is creating new roles and destroying existing ones leading to millions of workers requiring transition to new occupations by 2030. CEOs are concerned about the availability of key skills and see skills gaps within their organisations as the biggest barrier to adoption of new technologies. This has resulted in L&D increasing being viewed as a strategic investment for enterprise and government.

Job disruption is counter-balanced by job creation in new fields: the ‘jobs of tomorrow’. Over the coming decade, a non-negligible share of newly created jobs will be in wholly new occupations, or existing occupations undergoing significant transformations in terms of their content and skills requirements. Millions of workers will need to transition to new occupations by 2030, a disruption that has only been accelerated by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While CEOs plan to invest more in digital initiatives, they are extremely concerned about the availability of relevant skills

The ability of global companies to harness the growth potential of new technological adoption is hindered by skills shortages and L&D is becoming a strategic investment required to fill organisations’ skills gaps. At EdventureCo we see these gaps appearing across three different areas
