The document discusses skills shortages in various industries and job functions based on a survey of 248 executives. It finds that executives are most concerned about shortages of technical/engineering staff, with over 60% finding it challenging to hire these skills. Shortages in strategic/corporate development roles are also a concern. While skills gaps exist, the situation is more nuanced than often portrayed, with only 5-8% finding it very difficult to hire for most other functions. Companies are addressing skills shortages through training programs. However, many candidates still lack soft skills like creativity and communication abilities. The perception of shortages varies between regions, with less pessimism in Western Europe than North America due to differences in economic growth forecasts.

Geological characterization and hazard assessment of a selected unstable rock...Maryam Izadifar
This technical report summarizes a study of a rock mass in a valley south of Introbio, Valsassina, Northern Italy. The objectives were to characterize and describe discontinuities, represent joints stereographically, evaluate failure using Markland's tests, and evaluate block size. Hazard analysis considered potential instability mechanisms and rockfall run-out. Fieldwork was conducted on March 30, 2015 and involved measuring joint orientations, geometries, and strengths. Analysis indicated potential for planar, toppling, and wedge failures. Estimated block sizes ranged from 0.1 to 1 cubic meters. Potential rockfall paths and distances were also examined.
Space Syntax theory proposes that cities form around networks of centers at different scales, from smaller seed spaces to larger city centers. These centers are formed based on the spatial value of an initial seed, such as its destination or route value, which establishes an area of influence around the seed, or fading distance. Dhaka, Bangladesh formed through a network of centers established at different times and places based on their spatial values, from an original trade center on the Buriganga River to later imperial and modern centers, ultimately connecting to form the city of Dhaka.

Aging and the telomere connection dr. Jerry w. Shay - april 2012Life Length
1. Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that protect chromosomal DNA from deterioration. Each cell division, telomeres shorten until they reach a critical length that causes cells to stop dividing.
2. Short telomere length is associated with aging and age-related diseases by limiting tissue regeneration abilities. Telomere length measurements provide insight into overall health and longevity.
3. Environmental stressors like smoking can accelerate telomere shortening, while behaviors like exercise may help slow the rate of shortening. Quantitative telomere tests are being developed to monitor health and the effects of therapies on telomere biology.

1. Governments face significant skills gaps, especially in digital areas like cybersecurity and data analytics. Younger talent are also not attracted to government careers.
2. To compete for top talent, governments must transform their approach to talent acquisition. This includes emphasizing purpose over long-term careers, focusing recruitment on social media platforms, and using data to anticipate skills needs.
3. A new talent acquisition strategy should build the government brand on social media, use analytics to track skills gaps and campaign effectiveness, elevate talent acquisition as a strategic priority, and continually test and refine recruitment efforts.
IT talent is in high demand but short supply, making recruitment and retention a challenge. While most companies have not increased salaries to keep pace with the market, those that offer higher pay see benefits like reduced turnover rates and fewer open positions. One example showed a company that increased salaries by 10% experienced $800,000 in annual cost savings from lower turnover and vacancies compared to a company that did not raise pay.
The Technology Skills Gap 101_11MAR16v1sdSusan Dineen
The document discusses the technology skills gap, specifically in relation to mainframe computing jobs. It defines the skills gap as being caused by both skills shortages and skills mismatches. It notes that the skills gap is a worldwide problem and cites several studies showing that employers consider it a top concern. The skills gap is particularly problematic for the mainframe computing sector as many of those systems were developed decades ago and rely on languages like COBOL that are no longer widely used. An aging workforce that understands these legacy systems is retiring soon. There is a lack of younger talent entering the field who want to work on older mainframe technologies. This threatens the viability of continuing to rely on and support many important legacy systems used by large organizations.
This document summarizes the key findings from Coursera's 2024 Job Skills Report. The fastest growing skills are in the areas of:
1. Leadership skills focused on supporting teams through change such as empathy, team building and management.
2. AI-related skills which are driving record enrollments and will be important for productivity and preparing for an AI future.
3. Cybersecurity and information security skills where demand is surging due to the large number of open jobs.
The report also notes strong growth in business skills like digital marketing, customer experience and data skills like Power BI and visualization. Web development, cloud computing and compliance skills are also increasing in importance. Curated learning paths are
A Survey Study on Higher Education Trends among Information Technology Prof...Tharindu Weerasinghe
This document summarizes the results of a survey on higher education trends among IT professionals in Sri Lanka. The survey received responses from 30% of the 100 IT professionals contacted. Key findings include:
- 60% of respondents have already completed a post-graduate degree in addition to their basic degree.
- 66.7% said they wanted to gain further knowledge and recognition through a post-graduate degree.
- The most popular post-graduate degrees of interest were Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Science (MSc) degrees.
- Most respondents advised younger IT professionals to pursue further education before taking on family commitments.
Telstra E&G wanted to improve their talent sourcing methods for critical roles. They partnered with Talent Intelligence to implement a process called "Talent Pipelining" to continuously identify and engage passive candidates for these roles. Talent Intelligence conducted research on over 30 organizations to identify over 700 candidates across all roles, with biographical data on 59 high-fitting candidates. For one critical client management role, Talent Pipelining identified 205 candidates total, with biographical data on 37, and 7 recommended candidates who were all requested to meet with Telstra. The first placement from this process was confirmed on April 1st.
The energy industry faces a severe talent shortage due to a "double squeeze" - many current workers are retiring while the education system is not producing enough skilled new entrants. This is exacerbated by rapid technological changes. As a result, companies may not have sufficient skilled workers to capitalize on investments and growth opportunities despite billions being invested in new technologies and capacity expansion. The talent shortage could significantly impact the industry's ability to meet rising global energy demand and maximize economic potential.
The document discusses how adaptability of talent can drive economic growth. Some key findings:
- Markets with more adaptable talent are more efficient and productive, resulting in up to $130 billion in additional productivity across 11 countries studied. Better alignment of talent and opportunities leads to higher returns.
- With increased adaptability, the skills gap facing employers will narrow. Currently, 63% of CEOs globally worry about availability of key skills while unemployment rises.
- Less adaptable talent markets result in higher recruitment and onboarding costs as poorly matched candidates are hired. This costs the global economy $19.8 billion annually in the countries studied.
The skills gap exists due to several converging factors:
- The changing nature of work and pace of innovation require continuous reskilling and upskilling of workers. Jobs are becoming more technologically advanced and specialized.
- The knowledge economy demands higher levels of STEM skills that are lacking in many current and potential workers. Digital skills are increasingly necessary across many industries.
- Rapid changes in business strategies, markets, and technologies outpace the abilities of many organizations to reskill their existing workforces or find new talent with the needed skills.
- Multiple generations now coexist in the workforce with different skills, and retiring baby boomers will take decades of experience and knowledge with them unless it is properly transferred.
Adapt to Survive: India Losing Money Over Not Connecting Right Talent with th...LinkedIn Talent Solutions
This document summarizes a global study by PwC on how better alignment between talent and opportunities can drive economic growth. Some key findings include:
1) Markets with more adaptable talent are more efficient and productive, unlocking up to $130 billion in additional productivity.
2) As talent becomes more adaptable, it can help narrow the worldwide skills gap, leading to better economic performance as half of CEOs intend to increase headcount but worry about key skill availability.
3) Online professional networks give organizations access to more talent pools and "passive candidates," while also allowing individuals to more easily explore opportunities, leading to better hiring outcomes.

STEM SKILLS IN THE WORKFORCE:
WHAT DO EMPLOYERS WANT?
Roslyn Prinsley & Krisztian Baranyai*
Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) underpin Australia’s potential to
innovate and compete on the global stage - so are we ready to build the future we want?
|ISSUE 9
MARCH 2015
KEY FINDINGS
Business and industry representatives have reported a
shortage of STEM graduates.The Office of the Chief
Scientist commissioned Deloitte Access Economics to
survey employer attitudes to STEM skills and STEM skilled
employees.Not all employers responded to every question.
`` Of the 466 employers who responded to the question,384
agreed that people with STEM qualifications are valuable
to the workplace,even when their major field of study is
not a prerequisite for their role.
`` STEM employees were nominated as being among the
most innovative by 345 of 486 employers.
`` Of 451 employers,241 expected their needs for STEM
professionals to increase over the next five to ten years.
169 of 342 expect an increase in their needs for STEM-
qualified technicians and trades people.
`` Some employers experienced difficulty in hiring.Of
356 employers,144 reported difficulty filling technician
and trades worker roles,and 135 of 429 had difficulty
recruiting STEM graduates.Around one in five reported
a shortage of graduates.Around one in three reported
a mismatch between the skills required and those of
applicants.
`` Employers valued work placements for preparing students
to work.Only 140 of 502 employers currently offered
structured placements.
`` Many employers are not satisfied with their engagement
with post-secondary education institutions.
BACKGROUND
This paper reports on the employer perceptions of STEM
qualified people including the skills and attributes that they
bring to the workplace,the value that employers place on
STEM graduates,and expectations of future demand.
In Australia,15 per cent of the working age population have
a STEM qualification (Certificate III or above) and those
numbers are rising.Between 2006 and 2011,the number of
people in positions requiring STEM qualifications grew 1.5
times faster than all other occupation groups.i
The trend is not unique to Australia.Most modern
economies in the world are working to harness the
technological and innovation advantages that a STEM
education can bring.ii
Is Australia developing a skilled and active STEM workforce
ready to meet the challenges of growing a different economy?
AIM
The project aimed to understand:
`` The skills and attributes that employers need from STEM
graduates today and into the future.
`` Whether employers are able to recruit workers with the
STEM skills they require and if not why not.
`` The extent to which employers are engaged and satisfied
with education providers to train work-ready STEM
students to meet their requirements.
2. 2 AUSTRALIA’S STEM WORKFORCE | Roslyn Prinsley and Krisztian Baranyai
METHOD
In 2013,Deloitte Access Economics carried out an online
survey of employers.In total,1,065 employers responded,
representing 450,000 employees,across a range of industry
sectors.Not all respondents answered all the questions in
the survey and over half of employers did not specify the
industry sector for their organisation.The response rate
therefore varied between the survey questions.Response
numbers are reported for each question.
A broad spectrum of industries and businesses was
targeted.These either currently employed,or are looking
to employ,staff with a STEM qualification,a sampling
approach that may introduce a selection bias towards
STEM-intensive firms.
RESULTS
Employer perceptions
Employer perceptions of their STEM qualified people
were positive overall.
Employers (384 of 466) agreed that people with STEM
qualifications are valuable to their business,even in
positions where the employee’s qualification (major
field of study) is not a prerequisite for that role.This was
particularly true of the mining industry where 84 per cent
of respondents from that sector agreed with this statement,
as did 88 per cent of the Professional,Scientific and
Technical Services sector.
Also,345 of 486 employers nominated their STEM-
qualified staff as among their most innovative.
Flexibility to modify work practices to accommodate
innovation is also crucial for business success; 342 of 483 of
employers agree that their STEM-trained staff are able to
adapt to changes in the business.
Capabilities that employers value
To explore perceptions further,employers were asked to
indicate the importance they place on a range of employee
skills and attributes (Figure 1).
The importance placed on the skills and attributes
varied by industry sector (Figure 2).For example,86
per cent of employers in the Information,Media and
Telecommunications sector rated programming important
or very important – much higher than other sectors.This
sector also rated design thinking as a high priority.
Respondents were asked to list any additional skills
which they considered important to their workplace.
Overwhelmingly,“communication”was identified as
important.
Comparing STEM and non-STEM qualified
employees
Employers compared their experience with STEM and
non-STEM qualified employees against the desirable
attributes listed (Figure 3).Those who employ both STEM
and non-STEM qualified employees (410 employers)
rated STEM-qualified employees higher,on average,across
the majority of attributes,including the four most highly
ranked.STEM qualified employees were particularly
highly rated relative to non-STEM in the Financial and
Insurance Services,Construction and Health Care and
Social Assistance industry sectors.

Expected demand
Employers considered their anticipated requirements for
STEM-qualified people over the next five to ten years.
Of 451 respondents,241 expected an increase in demand
for STEM qualified professionals,while 34 expected a
decrease.Almost 40 per cent of those expecting an increase
in demand were from the Manufacturing and Professional,
Scientific and Technical Services industry sectors.
The same question was asked of employers regarding their
expected demand for STEM qualified technicians and
trades people.Of the 342 respondents,169 expected an
increase in demand,while 33 expected a decrease.
Expectations differed across industry sectors.For instance,79
per cent of the Information Media and Telecommunications
sector expected an increase in demand for professionals
whilst 24 per cent of the mining industry expected a decrease.
Recruitment
The survey gathered information regarding attitudes
towards PhD graduates (233 employers completed
questions regarding the role of PhD graduates).The three
main roles of PhD graduates were: provision of professional
services (119 of 188),research and development (119 of
188) and leadership/management (113 of 118).
Where respondents did not employ PhDs,it was because
the qualification was not a requirement for the role (31
of 46),they lacked practical experience (23 of 46) or they
lacked required business knowledge (22 of 46).
Of the 429 employers who responded to a question
regarding recruitment of early career STEM qualified
people,135 reported difficulties in recruiting STEM
graduates with less than 5 years’experience.
And 144 of 356 employers found it difficult to recruit
STEM-skilled technicians and trade workers.
Despite receiving applications for advertised positions,
difficulty was reported in hiring,indicating a mismatch
between the skills required and those possessed by
the applicants.The industry sectors with the highest
percentage of professional positions unfilled were Public
Administration and Safety sector (24 per cent,7 applications
per position); Financial and Insurance Services (21 per cent,
13 applications per position); and Agriculture,Forestry and
Fishing (16 per cent,13 applications per position).
Employers reported on the issues they had encountered in
the recruitment of these staff.Of the 280 employers that
responded,214 had encountered problems.Two issues were
reported—supply and quality.
Regarding supply,a lack of applications for STEM
positions had been encountered by 45 of 280 employers,
and a shortage of STEM-qualified graduates was reported
by 59 of 280 employers.
Regarding quality,employers reported receiving
applications from candidates with unsatisfactory skills such
as a lack of business understanding (101 of 280); a lack
of practical experience and lab skills (92 of 280); a lack of
general workplace experience (98 of 280); or from people
with qualifications inappropriate for their business needs
(72 of 280).
These workplace issues were of particular concern to the
Professional and Scientific Services; Manufacturing;
Information Media and Telecommunications; and
Agriculture,Forestry and Fishing sectors.

Figure 3: Comparison of employer perceptions of the skill levels of STEM and non-STEM
employees
Employers were asked to rate the skill level of STEM and non-STEM employees. The chart below compares employers’ perceptions of
the skill levels of STEM and non-STEM qualified employees - displaying the difference between the average score for each skill across
industry sectors.
Work experience
Employers indicated the importance of a range of
candidate attributes when assessing the suitability of
STEM qualified applicants for their workplace.Over
two thirds (224 of 323) responded that work experience
in a relevant industry was important or very important.
Over half (162 of 320) indicated that work experience of
greater than 12 weeks was important or very important.
However,in response to a specific question,only 140 of 502
employers offer structured work placements to students.
Collaboration between educational institutions
and Australian workplaces
In total,314 of 507 respondents reported some level of
engagement with a post-secondary institution.Large
businesses were more likely to be engaged than small and
medium enterprises (SMEs).
Employers were asked to indicate their level of satisfaction
with this engagement across a range of engagement
types.On average,just over 50 per cent of employers were
satisfied.Employers were least satisfied with engagement
to develop business relevant STEM courses (64 of 153)
and encouragement of employees to teach at educational
institutions.However,where these were available,92 of
143 employers were satisfied with work placements for
academic credit.
Of those workplaces which did not have links with post-
secondary educational institutions,55 of 167 said that they
hadn’t been approached,while 46 of 167 said that they had
never considered approaching post-secondary educational
institutions.
CONCLUSION
This report highlights a mismatch between the skills
required by employers and those of job applicants.Clearly,
an effort has to be made to minimise this discrepancy.The
information presented here should help to identify what
needs to be done.
