Explore how Brights effectively tackles the growing skill gap and learn about the transformative impact of Salesforce reskilling through one of its alumni’s professional journeys.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolving job market\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can see that the need for junior IT profiles has decreased while at the same time, more junior profiles are available on the market\u201d, says Philipp Leipold<\/a>, Managing Director Germany & Switzerland at Brights Learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, in Germany for example, we are talking about 149,000 people missing in IT, and the need will become even more pressing when more and more senior personnel are exiting the workforce. In addition, IT companies are reacting differently to the macro-and micro-economic situation\u201d, he says. \u201cSome are laying off workers including key senior IT employees; some are focusing on increasing the proportion of outsourcing, while others are insourcing again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the newest IDC study<\/a>, the fast-growing Salesforce economy will also increase the demand for IT jobs worldwide with an estimated net gain of more than 11 million jobs between 2022 and 2028 <\/a>\u2026 and Artificial Intelligence<\/a> (AI) is accelerating this growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI\u2019s impact on job profiles <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As highlighted in the latest McKinsey report<\/a>, a significant number of jobs will undergo substantial changes in the coming years due to AI<\/a>, leading to the emergence of new skill profiles that are currently unknown. The big majority of our entire workforce will be affected by AI<\/a> very soon, so we need to act now. Customised skilling solutions, such as our Salesforce training, can be a proven part of the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlocking potential with Salesforce training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brights\u2019 focus on Salesforce training offerings has several reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philipp says: \u201cFirst of all, the Salesforce economy<\/a> is continuously growing and is gaining market share. As Salesforce is not part of most academic and secondary education, we are seeing a huge potential to reskill new talents with our hire-train-deploy concepts. At the same time, we see an increased demand for our skilling initiatives among Salesforce customers and partners for seasoned Salesforce specialists and existing employees who are new to the Salesforce ecosystem. Our focus on training new talents and re\/upskilling employee shifters has a positive impact on our clients when building their Salesforce teams. It not only leads to an increase in creativity in the team but also to higher work satisfaction. Combining measures of reskilling new talent with skilling existing personnel is where true magic happens!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers need to rethink hiring. It often lacks the openness to take new ways of learning and recruitment.<\/strong><\/p>\nPhilipp Leipold<\/cite><\/blockquote>\nManaging Director Germany & Switzerland at Brights Learning<\/span>\n
