Building tomorrow's workforce today: why credentials are key to addressing the digital transformation skills gap
Technological advancements and digital transformation efforts are outpacing the rate at which students and workers can effectively supplement their education, upskill, or re-skill and demonstrate their new capabilities in an industry-recognized manner. Simultaneously, hiring managers need people who possess both a digital skillset and a digital mindset – including durable skills like critical thinking, teamwork and a willingness to leverage technology to continuously improve.
This webinar introduces the ways in which the Siemens Academic Program is working with education and industry leaders to build credentials that stretch beyond product knowledge and prepare engineers to be day-one ready for their next roles.
