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.
For the fifth year, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® surveyed tech industry leaders on current and future workforce issues. The survey was completed by business leaders who identify as part of CTA membership. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the way Americans work. The survey results show how companies are adapting to hybrid work and expanding not only their workforces, but also the ways they are finding and retaining talent to meet demands. The results continue to show that technology companies, both large and small, need more employees with technical skills.
