Why is it so important for employees to upskill and reskill right now? The need for employees to constantly upskill has only steadily increased in the past decade. Now, after the Covid-19 lockdown, upskilling and reskilling has turned into a necessity because of the sudden rise in online platforms offering upskilling courses.

Digital skills upscale is urgent to meet future workplace needs

According to a new Global Digital Readiness Index from Salesforce more than 23,000 workers across 19 countries reveal a growing global digital skills crisis and the urgent need for action.

Respondents shared views on their preparedness for digitisation, current level of digital skills (everyday and workplace), access to resources and support, and upskilling participation.

The DA has also raised concerns about a shortage of maths and science teachers in the country.

“While the critical skills list does provide a pathway for foreign teachers within the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) field, the explanatory schedules for the list are silent on foreign STEM teachers who were already teaching in schools."

Retaining and training a remote workforce

Employers should make their reasons for investing in learning clear. Employers usually invest to build skills in critical functions or job families.
