The need for high-quality IT workers is increasing at a rapid pace, but the pool of potential candidates is smaller than ever – which goes a long way towards explaining why nearly 60% of companies are reporting that open IT positions are currently going unfilled. But that’s not the whole story - the challenges in this candidate-driven employment market are many. And some of the moves being made by candidates to leverage the situation (and by companies to try and control it) are only contributing to the ever-increasing complexity of the hiring process. - See more at: http://pages.xtglobal.com/Addressing-Top-IT-Hiring-Challenges-Download-Page.html#sthash.LmOl81b4.dpuf
Across employers and industries, we have heard stories about the value young people bring to the workplace. Employers in manufacturing cited the need for serious hand-eye coordination and reported positive experiences with young people filling these roles. Others cited the benefit of having youth in their companies who can use evolving technologies. For others, especially firms that need a lot of entry-level employees, young workers are their lifeblood.
Youth Hold the Key: Building Your Workforce Today and in the Future focuses on the role that youth can play in helping employers meet some of their current and looming workforce challenges, and how companies can improve how they hire and retain youth. The findings are based on a recent survey of 350 employers, more than 80 interviews with employers and workforce experts conducted during 2014 by The Bridgespan Group and Bain & Company, as well as a review of published literature. Much of this work focused on the potential of the millions of young people—referred to here as "opportunity youth"—who are disconnected from both work and school, and lack a college degree, to address the needs of employers.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

INTRODUCTION
The field of information
technology is evolving at a
more faster rate than usual.
Areas like artificial intelligence,
data science, data analytics
and internet of things,
among others, are now being
integrated with industries
across all sectors. Many times,
it becomes difficult to keep a
track of these technologies and
keep up with them.
Now, more than ever, we are
seeing a pattern where young
professionals are finding
themselves confused about
their future in the company
— be it regarding their job
roles, their progress, or even
the fear of losing their jobs to
machines.
Analytics India Magazine,
in association with Jigsaw
Academy, decided to find
out what goes on behind the
making of a good career graph
in 2019. From the education
background to upskilling
strategies and organisational
partnerships for further studies,
today’s young professionals
have found many ways to fight
the career ennui.
In fact, industry numbers
suggest that there is an 18%
to 20% attrition rate for young
professionals with around
three to four years of work
experience.

RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
The samples were collected
by asking respondents to fill
in a survey created by AIM
about what these young
professionals felt like at work
— professionally. This included
various sub-topics such as
growth opportunity in the
current organisation, their need
to upskill and their preference
of a particular New Tech.
We took opinions from young
Indian professionals with work
experience between 2 to 4
years to get a thorough idea of
the working environment in this
growing field. Our survey was
met with much enthusiasm —
and we got some great insights
from it. Some of them were
expected, and many of them
were real eye-openers.

THE MANAGERIAL
PERSPECTIVE
Mohan Sitharam, the chief
human resources officer at
Subex, told Analytics India
Magazine that they always
preferred to upskill and retain
current employees than hire
outside talent. “Subex is a
product company with deep
expertise in the telecom
domain. For a business such
as ours, it is an obvious
choice to retain and upskill our
engineers. We consider re-
training our existing resources
as raising the bar of our talent’s
competence, and in our
experience, we realise that the
odds of advantage are twice
when we retrain our existing
talent, rather hiring skills.”
Bhuvan Nijhawan, Director
Education – Asia Pacific, SAS,
told Analytics India Magazine,
“Young Professionals these
days are constantly looking to
upskill themselves, given the
rapid market demands and
advancements in Data Science
technologies. These employees
not only intend to continue with
their current employer but also
upskill themselves for career
progression and growth. To
encourage such budding talent
and recognise their skillset,
SAS® has introduced SAS®
Digital Badges. These badges
are given only to those who
take up our official Training
programs or those who clear
the Certification exam. This
also acts as a reference point
for potential interviewers.
With increasing demand for
skills in Data Science, Machine
Learning & Artificial intelligence,
tech-savvy professionals with
0 to 3 years’ experience often
look forward to acquiring these
skillsets. Moreover, the hype in
this field often leaves them with
scattered information making
it difficult to choose relevant
programs to their profile. With
this in consideration, SAS
has developed assessment
tools which map their existing
skill sets thus aiding with
recommended curricula
relevant to their profile. We also
work to connect these talents
with our partner organisations
and customers.”

ROAD TO CAREER
TRANSITION
Abdul Baasit, one of the
students who completed the
Postgraduate Program in Data
Science and Machine Learning
from Jigsaw Academy has
transitioned successfully in his
career.
“I had a background in
IT but in around 2015, I
discovered my interest in data
and generally working with
mathematical solutions,” he
said. Abdul initially completed
the course in Data Science
with SAS and while he did then
move into the data science
space, he felt that it wasn’t
quite enough. “I’d noticed the
potential of analytics in the job
market and was keen to get
further into it. I felt that doing
another more in-depth course
would be helpful,” he added.

ABOUT JIGSAW
ACADEMY
Jigsaw Academy was started
in 2011 by Gaurav Vohra
and Sarita Digumarti. They
were brought together by
their shared passion for data
and their belief in the power
of analytics and Big Data
to change the way not just
industries, but individuals could
work. They regard data science
as a necessary life-skill, and
their constant endeavour to
improve how it is taught has
been a consistent factor in
what continues to distinguish
Jigsaw Academy from other
training providers.
