PITCH SUMMARY

TBC

Problem

  • Skills Mismatch: Corporates often struggle to identify the specific skills needed for their digital ICT roles. This leads to mismatches between the skills possessed by young individuals and those required by employers, resulting in inefficiencies and productivity gaps.
  • Changing Technology Landscape: The rapid pace of technological advancement requires continuous upskilling and reskilling. Corporations may struggle to keep up with evolving technology trends and determine which skills are most relevant for their digital ICT roles.
  • Limited Visibility: Corporates may lack visibility into the skills and capabilities of young talent available in the market. Effective recruiting and retaining skilled individuals is difficult without a comprehensive understanding of the talent landscape.
  • Tailored Training and Development: Generic training programs may not fully address corporates’ specific needs regarding digital ICT skills. A customized approach to training and development is necessary to ensure that young individuals acquire the skills needed to excel in their organisational roles.
  • It is often difficult to prioritise the most critical skill areas based on the organisation’s needs, but it is essential for maximizing the impact of available resources.
