IBM Commits to Skills-Training 30M People Globally by 2030

IBM is committing to training 30 million people globally of all ages by 2030 “for the jobs of tomorrow,” it said Wednesday. “The effort will leverage IBM's existing programs and career building platforms to expand access to education and in-demand technical roles,” it said. “The difficulty employers worldwide face in finding skilled workers poses a significant hurdle to economic growth,” said IBM, citing World Economic Forum projections that closing the global skills gap could add $11.5 trillion to global gross domestic product by 2028.
