How can we attract and enable a diverse, inclusive and skilled workforce?

Getting the right skills to deliver technology transformation and key projects remains a significant challenge. We are also seeing that given IT is not seen as a professionalised role, with no official ‘license to practice’, it is difficult to determine in the recruitment process, who has the right skills for your business needs.

In addition, the lack of representation of women in IT has been a major contributing factor in limiting the talent pool. So what can organisations do to move the dial? 

In the panel we will discuss the systemic challenges the sector faces around skills shortages, skill accreditation, talent retention and embedding  DE&I into recruitment and progression strategies.
