4 Ways Businesses Can Help Close The Skills Gap

BANGALORE: There is a huge technology skills-gap in the workplace today, and many companies have found ways to improve the situation. Here are five ways companies can make an impact, compiled by entrepreneur.com.

Work towards closing the access gap

Low income kids in most parts of the world lack access to technology like personal computers or laptops. The smartphone revolution is changing this, but there is still a large population of the world that has never seen functional technology at close quarters. Multinational companies like Microsoft and Apple are helping fund more schools to purchase computers in the classroom, to show kids how technology works.

Inspire the youth

Tell children you meet about your own challenges and success, and help inspire them to realize that they can also achieve in life.  Be generous with your time in answering questions from youngsters, and provide education and career tips and suggest sources of further information.
