Tech has a talent shortage – and the COVID-19 pandemic, rapid digitalisation, the Great Resignation and mass layoffs have only helped widen the skills gap!

So in times of downturn and uncertainty, how can organisations retain their employees and make sure that they have the skills needed?

To answer this, our guest today is Sarah Gilchriest, President at Circus Street.

Sarah herself has had a very interesting career – graduating from Sunderland University and started in publishing for Centaur. She then moved to events, then sales, before turning to the tech industry in 2016.

Today, Sarah is the President at Circus Street, a digital training provider which has trained over 600,000 people in 150+ countries and works with companies including Sanofi, Nestle, Pfizer, P&G and Coca-Cola.

Sarah joins us to take a look at the importance of upskilling, how companies can support employees looking to upskill, and top skills that will futureproof your career.
