Future of Work
Matching business needs with skilled workers will require innovative solutions — from rethinking education to changing recruiting practices to creating new upskilling programs.
The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® is committed to addressing our nation's skills gap and the U.S. Jobs Team is leading a multipronged effort to create high-skilled employment opportunities for all Americans.
2019 Future of Work Study
For the third year, CTA surveyed tech industry leaders on current and future workforce issues. The survey was completed by 252 business leaders who identify as part of CTA membership. The results continue to show that tech companies, both large and small, need more employees with technical skills and need to adapt to challenges in finding and retaining qualified people over the next five years.
