How UAE University seeks to bridge the digital skills gap

Deputy Editor Giorgia Guantario spoke to Dr Maryam Al Yammahi, Assistant Professor in Computer science, UAE University to discuss the digital skills gap and how the university is hoping to solve it.. The Assistant Professor also believes universities could play a big role in helping organisations reskill their workforce, something that will be necessary for 54 percent of all current employees by 2022, according to the World Economic Forum .. "Right now we are concentrating and working on preparing students only, but we'd like to have the possibility to help organisations train their employees to make sure they are up to date with new technologies.. The Fourth Industrial Revolution will affect all sectors, but each will need its own set of development and use cases to strive and leverage new technologies..
