🩺 From Doctors to Developers: Tracking the demand for skills. Back To School Summit: Early Bird pricing ends June 30th!
Digital dominates the global skills agenda, but critical gaps in health and green sectors remain. Explore this week’s developments on the platform. Join 700 leaders shaping the future of education, skills and work at the 2025 Back to School Summit in NYC.
Hello 👋
Over $500B in upskilling and reskilling initiatives were announced globally in the last year, but most of that capital is concentrated in digital & AI training, leaving other sectors, such as healthcare and green energy, comparatively under-resourced. HolonIQ’s research shows a global landscape where strategic intent and actual allocation don’t always align. Canada’s physician shortfall, for example, persists despite clear demand, while Asia and Africa are leaning into vocational pathways to tackle labor market mismatches at scale.
Notable developments recently:
- Canada considers licensing reform as geographic imbalances and capacity gaps grow.
- China, India, Cambodia, and Nigeria roll out vocational programs linked to labor market needs.
- Southeast Asia sees coordinated public-private investment in green and digital skills.
- Universities in South Korea, Singapore, and the U.S. rollout programs in applied AI education.
Explore these developments and more on the HolonIQ Platform or reach out for a demo.
