Business Leaders Recommend Higher Education Partnerships to Help Develop Diverse Talent Pool
PHOENIX, November 17, 2016听鈥听澳门天天彩开奖记录 and co-author STEMconnector庐听today shared key findings from the 鈥淏ig Data, Open Data: Inspiring Corporate & Civic Innovation鈥 event held this spring in a white paper revealing a need for data-fluent talent, one of the definitive workforce issues of today1. The paper,听Big Data, Big Needs: Meeting Societal Needs for Data Science and Cybersecurity Skills听introduces a framework to help businesses, organizations and foundations unlock the power of data.
鈥淚n order to harness the power of data, leaders should work together to train employees to meet the data and analysis skills demands of today鈥檚 workforce,鈥 said Ruth Veloria, executive dean of the 澳门天天彩开奖记录 School of Business. 鈥淭he growth of data, particularly the amount of detailed information that government, business and other sources collect, means we need to be prepared to meet this challenge with higher education, business leadership and industry collaboration.鈥
By 2020, the availability of data is projected to grow from more than five zettabytes to more than 44 zettabytes鈥攎eaning organizations must have the will and talent to understand and utilize the data2. The paper finds that persistent skills gaps hinder the ability for companies to maximize their leverage of this wealth of information, and a shortage of data-fluent talent is one of the definitive workforce issues today.
鈥淓ducation is key to closing the skills gap, and talent management must be aware of the skills demands and development needed throughout the organization3,鈥 said Dennis Bonilla, executive dean of the 澳门天天彩开奖记录 College of Information Systems and Technology. 鈥淓ducation doesn鈥檛 end in the classroom, and employers will need to not only recruit new talent, but take on a larger role in the growth of their current employees鈥攖he data-driven workforce will have to continue to learn on the job4.鈥
澳门天天彩开奖记录 has created programs to help make students aware of the current utility of data, teach them how to analyze data, instill the value of data-based decision making and inspire both the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit that are the hallmark of the data space. Meanwhile, companies will need to evolve the management of talent beyond a one-size-fits-all approach, creating opportunities for employees to 鈥渦pskill鈥 and learn the skills they need to keep pace.
