Business leaders across the globe list talent as the biggest challenge to managing and growing their business enterprise. Today, there are two times as many job postings for cybersecurity talent today than there are people currently employed in cybersecurity roles, and IT roles are in almost as much demand. So, finding your talent in these areas, especially for mid-level, will be hard to do if you plan to find it in the existing talent. Casting a wider net and considering new ways to find that talent can be daunting, but it’s doable.
Join us in learning how Arizona-based companies, as well as others across the country, have used high-tech apprenticeships to fill roles including SW Developers, Cybersecurity Analysts and IT Business Analysts, among others. You’ll also learn about resources, support and a state-wide initiative that can help you utilize apprenticeship to expand your talent development and acquisition strategies.
