The CLO’s Guide to Creating Modern Full-Stack Web Developers
With nearly two-thirds of HR leaders reporting a skills gap in their organizations (Future Workplace: 2019) reskilling existing employees whose roles risk automation or elimination is more critical than ever. In addition, 72% of business leaders consider reskilling workers a key tactic to compete in the talent market (Deloitte Private 2019 Technology Trends).
That includes web development talent.
The scarcity of this type of skilled worker is not a short-term problem. Companies are not only seeking junior and seasoned developers but they are turning to learning and development teams to create lifelong learning paths that reskill their incumbent workforce and fill high-demand technical roles in front-end and back-end web technologies.
This strategy saves recruiting costs, reduces reductions in force, and improves employee retention.
