Ron Hetrick "The tech workforce is reaching a point where they need to combine their skills with other industry needs to meet demand. Tech will now begin to serve the needs of each specific industry and sector".
Tim Herbert "There are over 1,000,000 baby boomers in tech jobs across all industries. However, there are over 1.2 million Gen Exers. The oldest Gen Exer is now 60. We have almost 2 million workers who are at a point where they can extend their time in the workforce, but they can also decide to check out next month. It{s a significant issue that needs to raise the debate about how we approach mid-career and late-career training".
Seeyew Mo "We need to change our mindset and think about high performing teams and what skills they need, not just technical, but soft and professional skills that will allow your company to better integrate AI and increase productivity".
