Recommendation
The rapid pace of technological change makes the acquisition of new skills at a similarly fast pace a must for employees and employers alike. However, closing skill gaps is often easier said than done. In this report, the Adecco Group and the Boston Consulting Group survey workers, executives and public institution officials from nine representative nations about the obstacles standing in the way of speedy, ongoing skill acquisition and possible strategies for overcoming those barriers. Ultimately, the authors conclude that what workers and businesses need most is a shift in mind-set.
