SkillsTX launched a rebrand in July 2022 to spread its Passion for Potential ™ across the globe and address the digital skills shortage, with a significant focus on North America.
Sheridan, Wyoming, October 20, 2022— The demand for digital skills across North America is about to skyrocket, yet it’s still woefully underprepared.
Currently lagging in 29th place (out of 100 countries) for digital skills, the US is in danger of slipping further behind. And as other countries make strides to tackle the issue, digital skill assessments show North America is struggling to keep up.
While we cannot forget the significant advances made in the US tech industry, the country is losing out when it comes to more traditional sectors. In 2016 Brookings found that 70% of USA-based jobs required a medium to a high level of digital skills, and it is with certainty that the percentage has since increased. Furthermore, 60% of the global economy will be digitized by the time 2022 draws to a close.
SkillsTX realizes the urgency of this problem. With expansion of the team, the organization is poised to further increase its efforts across the globe while widening its focus in North America.
SkillsTX recently welcomed John Kleist III on board, based in the USA and serving as Vice President of Sales for North America and an active SFIA Evangelist. More recently, Evan Griffin joined the team as a Customer Revenue Specialist, based in Canada, working alongside John and supporting our customers in the region.
The team at SkillsTX and its Talent Experience Platform will enable organizations to forge ahead into the digital age and disrupt traditional talent management processes by moving organizations to a skills-based strategy.
Through the SFIA framework, SkillsTX works closely with organizations and government to help them identify their skills gaps and develop a strategy to address them.
