Ireland’s current skills supply will be insufficient to meet future demand predictions and ‘What got us here, will not get us where we need to be’ . That’s the overall conclusion of a new report commissioned by Scale Ireland and undertaken by labour market experts, David Collings, Professor of Sustainable Business, Trinity Business School, and Dr. Shirley Kavanagh, an executive adviser /consultant in talent management and workforce development. The report found that Ireland faces a considerable challenge to meet the future skills needs of its indigenous IT sector. Key areas include reskilling and upskilling, focus on third level graduates and apprenticeships, continuing migration and greater workforce diversity in the sector.
