Description

In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily Podcast, we welcome Simon Walker and Tim Smeaton from Kubrick Group, as we tackle the challenge of under-skilling in basic digital skills, which could affect 5 million workers by 2030. We dive into the UK's digital sector, its exponential growth, and the future impact of the UK's Digital Strategy, which aims to contribute an additional £41.5bn to the economy and create 678,000 jobs. Join us as Simon and Tim emphasize the importance of recruiting and cultivating talent from non-traditional backgrounds, focusing on the "frozen middle" – a group with 5-10 years of experience at risk of being left behind in the digital economy. Learn how companies can address this issue and help shape the future of work in the tech industry. Don't miss this insightful conversation on bridging the digital skills gap!
