Is there a skills gap in the IT field or is it just a ruse? One created by companies who, in the post-recession economy, continue to list “one” job that would have been three jobs prior to 2007. Companies claim since they can’t find qualified candidates, there is a “skills gap”.

Or is there a “real” IT Job skills gap created by job candidates who are not proficient in math, science or the new skills of collaboration, communication and critical thinking?

Whatever side of the discussion you are on this is fact: around 11 million Americans are unemployed. And the number of new job postings continues to rise. Economists claim this shouldn’t be the case.

Join Gary Beach, Publisher Emeritus at CIO Magazine for this webcast to discuss one of the more pressing issues facing IT executives.
