Experts call for more cloud computing and software skills initiatives to address SA’s unemployment crisis. WorldYouthSkillsDay KPMG_SA DigitalResilience e-learning
, to shine the light on the strategic importance of equipping young people with decent work and entrepreneurship.
Cyber security firm Digital Resilience and KPMG Digital Consulting believe that while several complex factors contribute to high unemployment rates – which no single solution can address – cloud computing, software and cyber security skills, in particular, can help narrow the digital skills gap, and unlock endless opportunities for youth.
“With technology vendors now offering entry-level e-learning and certifications for free, it is a prime opportunity for corporate and government to invest in training youth quickly and cost-effectively to combat both unemployment and the skills gap.
“Cyber security remains a top priority for many organisations, with increased risk being attracted through various digital channels and applications. These skills are still a scarce and premium find in South Africa and developing a pipeline of skills related to these technology platforms, solutions and services would help reduce the reliance of local organisations on offshore resources,” he asserts.
