Technology is now an integral part of any organization, across industries and job functions—from developers creating mobile applications to marketers using business analytics to gleam customer insight in the CMO's office. Whether it’s a student learning about how analytics is transforming the marketing industry or a developer learning new best practices to protect an application from the latest cyber security threats, the need for highly skilled individuals continues to grow.
IBM is taking significant steps to help shrink the IT skills gap by offering resources for students, educators and IT practitioners in advanced technology areas such as business analytics, big data, commerce, mobile computing, cloud computing, social business and cyber security. The initiatives include new training courses and resources for IT professionals, training, technology and curriculum materials for faculty, and expanded programs to directly engage students with real-world business challenges.
