By 2025 Australia will need 156,000 new technology workers, with 87% of jobs now requiring digital skills.
This digital skills gap requires urgent action from business leaders and governments alike.
The Salesforce-YouGov Digital Skills — Australia report reveals the current capabilities, expectations, and requirements for digital skilling across industries. These findings are based on a survey conducted with more than 1,000 mid-level managers and senior management professionals from private, public, and not-for-profit organisations in Australia.
