(Finance) – “We are in a key moment for the digital transition, to grasp its full potential we need to accelerate”. Like this Walter RuffinoniCEO of NTT DATA Italy at the Forum organized by The European House Ambrosetti in Cernobbio. “This is why it is essential to invest in training of resources. Just think that, only in the ICT sector, by 2026 it is expected to have a requirement of almost 300,000 new people to hire and, if we do not immediately invest in training and skills, we risk not finding a third party ”.
“L’innovation and the digital they represent an important yet untapped basin of employment that must be cultivated, creating as much synergies as possible between the public and private sectors. In the immediate future, nine out of ten jobs will require specific digital skills and in a country where youth unemployment is at record levels it becomes urgent and a priority to focus on training ”, he added.
