Harbrinder Kang, Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Cisco, presented on developing skills through hackathons to solve global problems through digitization. The presentation covered how hackathons can build multi-disciplinary skills in areas like innovation, collaboration and problem solving. Case studies were presented of past hackathon projects that addressed issues like pollution, education and water scarcity. The goal is to create a new generation of global problem solvers through hands-on learning experiences that bring together business, technology and design skills.

Editor's Notes
- As I mentioned earlier, CSR is embedded into several of Cisco’s business functions. This is what enables us to drive value for business, society, and the environment. As I head Corporate Affairs within Cisco’s Corporate Social Responsibility organization, I spend my time thinking about how we can make positive impact on some of the world’s biggest problems. It can be overwhelming at times, I am hard pressed to come up with a solution to California’s water crisis, but we are looking into some issues that are impacting people and we believe that by working with those of you in this room, we might just be able to make a difference. Can solve all of these alone Investor – you might get request before you are ready Global Unemployment: Global unemployment rose from 2012 to 2013, especially in East Asia and South Asia. Young workers and the long-term unemployed remain particularly affected. At the end of 2013, the global unemployment rate was approximately 6% (same as 2012); the estimated number of unemployed has increased from 196.9 million in 2012 to 201.8 million in 2013 (ILO Global Employment Trends 2014) 45% of the increase in global unemployment is attributable to East Asia and South Asia 74.5 million Individuals aged 15-24 are unemployed globally (13.1% unemployment rate), 1 million more than 2012 Since 2007, the duration of unemployment has doubled in many advanced economies, reaching lengths of 8 and 9 months in Spain and Greece, respectively (Global Employment Trends 2014) The drivers of global unemployment are political or structural instability, lack of job creation, and skills shortage or mismatch. Political and Structural Instability: In MENA, where youth unemployment is the highest in the world, political tensions and social instability are expected to keep unemployment rates high (ILO) In Brazil, there are fewer working age Brazilians in the labor market now than in the US at the height of the Great Recession (Forbes) Lack of Job Creation: Weak hiring is the cause of unemployment in Europe (ILO) Because of a lack of job creation, the US has moved from having the lowest non-employment rate among the world’s large, wealthy countries (18.5%) to the highest (26.6%) (NY Times) Skills Shortage or mismatch: The unemployment rate in India is highest among youth, particularly educated youth, suggesting higher demand for low-skill workers (ILO) Over half of the youth population in South Africa is unemployed, with private companies citing lack of skills (Ventures-Africa) In China, high-paying manufacturing positions are unfilled because of a shortage of skilled applicants and stigma against factory work (Global Sherpa) 39% of employers say that a skills shortage is a leading reason for entry-level vacancies (McKinsey)
- Can’t solve California’s water issues, but we can work with you to solve these problems. Pose the question. Mismatch of skills and employment. We need to solve this to help people thrive. The rapid pace of change is impacting people: Unemployment: Global youth 74.5M (16-24) 13.1% global 8.5M unemployed in US, 13.1% youth unemployment (almost 3x that of adults) 17.1% of those aged 16-19 are unemployed 74.5 million Individuals aged 15-24 are unemployed globally (13.1% unemployment rate), 1 million more than 2012 Roughly 30% long-term unemployed 6.7M involuntarily employed part time Skills Gap: 39% US employers difficulty filling jobs 56% US employers skills shortage impact on filling job 1.2M shortage of IP networking professionals Shortage of 1.5M managers & analysts skilled in big data IoE is a major transformation disruptor IoE is expected to have broad impact across technology and business markets and related jobs, leading to $1.9 trillion of economic value add in 2020 and $12 trillion cumulatively between 2013 and 2022 in 2020 IoT applications and services jobs will play an important role in establishing the connected IoE and enabling the downstream economic value add for organizations Ten job families have been identified as critical for IoT applications and services – these job families are expected to represent ~75% of the needed FTEs in 2020 To be successful in these IoT jobs, individuals will need a balance of depth in key skills related to role and softer competencies around business understanding, innovative thinking and personal interactions New approaches will be required to develop the volume and uniqueness of skills and competencies required $19 trillion IoE opportunity per Cisco, Gartner estimates $12 trillion New career growth and opportunities are emerging, as the world becomes more connected. Tech shifts = demand for IT workers educated/certified in mobile, datacenter, X-as-a-Service, security, analytics, cloud computing, and virtualization By 2018 40% of jobs will be in five industries: IT; Private Ed; Government and Public Ed; Financial Services; Employers will need 22 million new workers with postsecondary degrees and we will fall short by three million workers, a deficit of 300,000 college graduates every year between now and 2018. 75-90% of jobs will require postsecondary education or training Source: Learning at Cisco FAQ and Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce Report, June 2010 http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/employer_resources/pdfs/employer_faq.pdf ; https://georgetown.app.box.com/s/ursjbxaym2np1v8mgrv7 Additional Resources and STEM Facts: http://stemjobsdata.wikispaces.com/Information+Technology

There are a greater number of soft skills needed which seems to map with the Need to work with employers to address the skills gap. This seems to map with the 55% of the millennials interested in entrepreneurship.

- TL is short for extract, transform, load, three database functions that are combined into one tool to pull data out of one database and place it into another database. Extract is the process of reading data from a database. Transform is the process of converting the extracted data from its previous form into the form it needs to be in so that it can be placed into another database. Transformation occurs by using rules or lookup tables or by combining the data with other data. Load is the process of writing the data into the target database. ETL is used to migrate data from one database to another, to formdata marts and data warehouses and also to convert databases from one format or type to another.
- The unexpected benefit that came out of NetAcad was one set of exceptional students developed a true IoE solution for an underserved population. These students had the characteristics of many of the people in this room…socially driven, problems solvers, smart with a vision of the IoE future. This is what we’ve done with one set of students. Think of what could happen if we collaborate across the industry to empower these students to build their skills and empower partner employers with a skilled employee pipeline. Persuasiveness focus. How does it benefit everyone? IoE benefits everyone.
