There is no doubt in saying that the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021 have been the worst for the whole globe. These years were like a nightmare and the primary cause of everyone's life going downhill, where people were helpless and losing their jobs, suffering from extreme poverty and had to watch as inflation increased day by day. Even yet, its effects may still be felt in everyone's life, such as economic uncertainty, particularly for individuals in the technology industry.
According to Pluralsight's "2023 State of Up-skilling Report," economic instability is the major reason why many companies are laying off workers and putting more of a focus on skill upgrades. This study examined 1,200 computer professionals from the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and Australia and was questioned on what are their opinions on whether up-skilling is a great option for businesses or not?
Nearly all of those questioned (97%) stated that they are with the idea of corporations reducing their staff and investing in employee skill development. If we approach this with a positive outlook, it will seem quite advantageous for these digital behemoths since it will encourage their staff to take on multiple responsibilities. It was even noted that 72% of people are totally prepared to make this a reality.
Furthermore, this study encourages 65 tech savvy individuals to look for cost-saving opportunities that might have a significant influence on economic volatility and result in a better and healthier environment for digital enterprises. Additionally, 52% of respondents think that adopting many abilities and skills might help many businesses succeed as well as benefit all of us.
However, although some see this as a good quality, others (47%) are not very taken with the concept. They stated that the reason for this was because they would have to handle excessive duties in addition to their main work.
One of the key conclusions drawn from this survey was that, among the numerous obstacles standing in the way of individuals learning new skills, lack of money and time rank at the top. The poll found that lack of finances (25%) and a lack of opportunities to improve one's abilities (30%) are other factors contributing to people's discouragement.
When compared the previous year’s report to this year’s report, it was a little upsetting to find that people appeared to feel less confident in 2023 than they did in 2022. 8% of data technicians are dissatisfied with their abilities, while 21% and 17%, respectively, of cyber security technologists and cloud techies appear to have less self-assurance as well.
