and colleges as a source for talent. These traditional institutions
help recruiters hire the best and brightest; entrance requirements
are competitive, training is rigorous and demonstrates the candi-date
can see a program through to completion. But as we approach
2020, a new type of partnership is emerging, especially in the agile
and fast paced tech industry.
Digital skills training organizations like BrainStation and
Bitmaker are part of a new generation of educational institutions
that move swiftly to equip students with the coding and technical
skills that are constantly updating industries. These organizations
don’t certify learners with diplomas or degrees. Instead they opt
for discrete skill sets that may span two to four weeks of intensive,
hands-on learning. Organizations can benefit from paying atten-tion
to this group of institutions and being aware of what they
are teaching – the types of skills the market will demand in the
near future.
FOCUS ON ENTRY-LEVEL HIRING
According to a recent study by Indeed, 41 per cent of employers
say entry-level positions are hardest to fill. Part of the reason for
this is that many entry level positions are posted with “1-2 years”
experience and a long list of required skills as prerequisites, mak-ing
these jobs off-limits for most new grads. To stay competitive in
the war for talent, organizations may need to shift their thinking
on what it means to truly hire an entry level position; candidates
come to the organization with the potential, rather than the skills,
to do the job. This model requires significant training investment
and a degree of risk on the part of the employer, but the payoff can
be a loyal workforce ready to grow with the organization. n
