×Carolyn and Seth talk about the changes HR teams will need to make as their organizations pursue skills-based career development. Similar to technology investments, skills-based methodology investments have been growing in recent years, and companies will start asking about the returns on these investments.

Some of the key challenges ahead include building out skills taxonomies, ensuring consistency across departments, and providing transparency to employees.…
Carolyn and Seth talk about the tech skills landscape as businesses head into another year of digital transformation. Although AI is casting questions around the quantity and quality of skills an organization will need in the future, the current state of skill demand remains very healthy.

Companies are looking for skills in all areas of technology, and they continue to debate the best approach between finding perfect candidates and building internal talent.…

However, cybersecurity is looming as a possible concern that will push this ongoing debate to some type of resolution.…

Carolyn and Seth continue their overview of CompTIA's IT Industry Outlook 2025 report by lookin at the big issues facing IT channel firms in the new year.

While customer relations and business processes will tend to be focal points, channel firms also need to invest in the same technical training as every other industry in order to remain competitive.

Carolyn and Seth talk about the latest approaches companies are taking around developing the skills of their workforce. Over 60% of companies claim to be using a well-defined skills framework, but that may be more of an aspirational statement as they also report challenges around defining skills and building a consistent methodology. Adding to the challenge, any skills framework needs to account for technical depth, technical breadth, and durable skills. There is likely quite a bit of work still to do in building an organization-wide process around using skills and work tasks to effectively hire and advance careers.…
Carolyn and Seth talk about CompTIA's recent data around pathways for technology professionals.

Carolyn and Seth talk about the challenges facing organizations as they deal with changing generational dynamics in the workforce. Most of the attention in recent years has been on the behaviors and preferences of younger workers as they enter the workforce, but there is an equally significant shift taking place with older workers. As people are living longer and changing their expectations around aging, they are also changing their expectations around later stages of a career.
