Most recruiters consider the absence of technical skills as the main driver for skills shortage across a myriad of industries
SKILLS IN SHORTAGE
Job roles affected by labor shortage–2012
Against the milieu of the slow-‐paced global economy, employers are experiencing difficulLes in filling vacancies due to lack of qualified and employable workers; as the global economy is recovering, the labor market is increasingly Lghtening with acute shortage in the Asia Pacific and the Americas region
Procurement
Procurement has grown from being the purchasing
department at companies to an area of strategic importance
This has resulted in the growing demand for logisLcs, supply chain, and procurement professionals globally
Finance/Accounts
An increasing number of firms are facing a shortage of high-‐skilled professionals with
extensive financial knowledge; there is a shortage of locally
available talent in several parts of the world
Engineering
There is a significant shortage of engineers globally, which directly impacts the ability of companies to
invest and take up projects There is also a shortage of
engineering leaders who can take up management roles in different
engineering fields
IT
According to Hays, a leading recruitment firm, informaLon technology (IT) skills, such as JAVA, .NET, C++, are in scarce supply globally during 2012–13 The growing importance of IT has resulted in the shortage of workers across the band—from CIOs to
programmers, and IT support staff
There is a significant shortage of vocaLonally trained individuals to occupy roles such as those of electricians, welders, plumbers, and, maintenance and repair
workers, globally
Skilled Trade Companies across industries face a severe shortage of research and development (R&D) staff;
R&D is intrinsic to the company’s technological advancement and top line performance, impacLng
its compeLLveness

Apart from technical skills, employers believe that skilled labor with adequate soft skills is also in shortage

Team Work
Major SoD Skills in Shortage
The a_tude of employees and their lack of work ethics are major concerns across companies;
employees o`en lack in areas of Lmeliness, willingness to work, and
other hygiene factors While this does not directly impact the availability of skilled labor, it
certainly affects quality
Employers find it most difficult to fill leadership
roles, such as CEOs, CIOs, and Directors; this is especially true for technical leadership jobs in developing countries
Companies are coming across candidates who lack the ability to work in teams and senior-‐level employees
who lack people management skills; these skills affect the efficiency levels in organizaLons,
which are ‘must haves’ for most employers
Many recruiters face a shortage of individuals with good
communicaLon skills; this goes beyond language barriers and can be observed in cases where candidates are not fluent and coherent even in their naLve
languages
Workers proficient and fluent in English are scarce globally—especially in countries where
English is not the naLve language Apart from English, companies look for individuals who can speak the naLve language of the country of operaLon; this has parLcularly
become important with the global movement of talent
Companies across industries are also facing challenges of shortage of labor with so` skills such as communicaLon, language, work ethics, and leadership

Industry Speak
INDUSTRY SPEAK
“The Hays Global Skills Index and report illustrates a major paradox in the world’s skilled labor markets. Many countries are suffering chronically high levels of unemployment, yet employers are struggling to find enough skilled individuals to fill the posts
available.” – Alistair Cox, Chief ExecuLve Officer, Hays (2012)
“As the global recovery gathers pace, cul=va=ng future talent and allevia=ng the shortage of skilled workers is becoming vital to ensure economic growth. With unemployment high around the world, migra=on is an emo=ve subject but strategic migra=on will be necessary to create a global workforce and alleviate the current shortage. Countries should be developing policies, which facilitate posi=ve migra=on to fuel economic growth
through providing skilled workers where they are needed, rather than crea=ng barriers to immigra=on.” – Jeffery A. Joerres, Chief ExecuLve Officer, Manpower Group (2010)
“As we move further into recovery and business plan for growth, the demand for people with high-‐quality skills and qualifica=ons will intensify. In the future, people with qualifica=ons in science and math will be par=cularly sought aQer, and firms say it is
already hard to find people with the right technical or engineering skills.” – Richard Lambert, Director General, ConfederaLon of BriLsh Industry (2010)
“Increasing talent shortage in Asia Pacific could harm organiza=ons' innova=on efforts as CIOs struggle to adapt to ongoing technological change. Half of employers in the region have problems with skills shortages.” – IDC Report on Growth of IT in Asia Pacific (November 2012)
“Concerns about finding sufficient skilled employees in technical and engineering job func=ons is likely to grow in the future.” – EIU Survey on Skills Gap (2012)
“The success of any na=onal or business model for compe==veness in the future will be placed less on capital and much more on talent. We could say that the world is moving from capitalism to ‘talen=sm’. Talent grows businesses and economies: understanding and harnessing talent mobility is now more cri=cal than ever. The talent crisis points out serious imbalances in human capital markets. On one side, there are talent shortages. On the other, high
unemployment rates and employability challenges slow down economies and threaten future growth across the globe. The new “Millennial” genera=on is calling for a change. At the same =me, talent is landing at the top of CEOs’ agendas.”— Klaus Schwab, Founder and ExecuLve Chairman, World Economic
Forum (2011)
"Foreign direct investment (FDI), and the projected increase in FDI into Africa, will mop up talent. The demand for talent in Africa is going to outstrip supply. As a result of the higher demand for talent, the price of talent is going to go up, and it is going to con=nue to go up, for as long as there is a skills
shortage.”—Ray Harraway, Tax Human Capital Director at Ernst & Young Africa (March 2012)

Aging population worldwide is having a severe impact on the size of labor force across the globe
DRIVERS – SKILL SHORTAGE
§ Aging popula?on is affec?ng the labor availability in many countries, and this is likely to con?nue over the next decades
§ According to a UN Report published in 2012, by 2050, the popula?on aged 60 and above will outnumber the popula?on aged 15 and below
§ Aging popula?on and increasing re?rements are affec?ng many developed countries including the US, the UK, and Japan
§ There are approximately about 810 million individuals aged above 60 as of 2012 and this is projected to increase over 2 billion by 2050
§ As of 2012, one out of every nine individual is aged 60 years or above, while by 2050, one out of every five is likely to be in that age group
§ In 2012, the propor?on of older individuals (aged above 60) who are economically ac?ve is higher in the less developed regions (50% among men and 22% among women) than in the more developed regions (26% among men and 15% among women)
§ Older individuals in the less developed regions work un?l more advanced ages (above 60) largely due to the limited coverage of social security schemes, as well as low pension values received by those who are covered

Low employability of graduates and demand outpacing supply are the key factors driving the global shortage of skilled workers
DRIVERS – SKILL SHORTAGE
Source: ‘Talent Shortage Survey Results’, Manpower Group (2012)
Demand Outpacing Supply
§ One of the main drivers of skill shortage globally is the lack of a link between what is taught in schools and what is needed by at the job front, which leads to high levels of unemployment
§ In many countries the educa?on system only provides theore?cal knowledge and students are onen not equipped with requisite job skills
§ Further, the curricula is onen out-‐dated, and students have no present day relevant knowledge; this is par?cularly true for technical professions and low quality of teaching is also prevalent in many ins?tutes
§ The lack of employability skills also contributes to the difficulty faced by employers to fill vacancies
§ In many cases the labor shortage experienced in a field is not due to the shortage of adequate personnel, but due to their low quality and employability; employers find candidates lacking generic skills such as communica?on, team work, and ?meliness
§ Employability of fresh graduates is a major concern in certain Asian and African countries; according to an annual employers’ survey conducted by Manpower Group in 2012, 28% of employers in Asia stated that low employability is a problem within the region
Key Factors Impac?ng Shortage
Low Employability of Graduates
§ In many parts of the world, the demand for skilled labor is growing at a rate, which is outpacing the labor supply growth
§ Increasing demand is based on increased investments in projects and growth in various sectors
§ IT, oil and gas, and mining industries in Australia are witnessing high levels of growth and in turn are demanding skilled labor; the growth of the labor market however, is not able to match the total demand
§ According to the American Society of Engineering Educa?on, as of 2012, the US needs to graduate 10,000 addi?onal engineers every year to keep pace with the demand

Globally, a shortage of high- and medium-skilled workers, and a surplus of low-skilled workers is expected by 2020; this represents a training and development opportunity
SCENARIO 2020
Source: ‘The World at Work: Jobs, Pay and Skills for 3.5 billion people’, Mc Kinsey Global Ins?tute (June 2012)
§ Mostly high-‐ and medium-‐skilled workers are in short supply globally as of 2012
§ According to McKinsey Global Ins?tute, by 2020, there will be a 13% shortage of college-‐educated or high-‐skilled individuals globally
§ Shortage of high-‐skilled workers will be most prevalent in developing economies, with about 50% of the shortage in China alone, in 2020
§ The expected shortage of medium-‐skilled workers (secondary educated) is about 15% by 2020
§ Most of this shortage is expected in developing and labor-‐intensive economies of South Asia and Africa
§ However, by 2020, there is likely to be a surplus of low-‐skilled workers, largely in the developing countries
§ Most of the excess supply of low-‐skilled workers is expected in India and other developing countries
§ While the shortage of skilled manpower in developing countries can be overcome by improving the educa?on system, the problem in developed na?ons will be more difficult to tackle—as it is mostly not the educa?on, but the demographics that leads to the shortage

Governments are focusing on education, training and development, and policy related changes to tackle the talent shortage
SOLUTIONS ADOPTED
Source: Department of Educa?on, UK, ‘Immigra?on rules aim to ease skill shortage in Germany’, Business Day Live (February 2013)
§ The UK has a severe shortage of skilled labor, primarily engineers and technicians
§ In May 2012, the UK government approved opening of 15 University Technical Colleges (UTCs) across the country during 2013–15
§ UTCs are designed to meet the shorqall of engineers and technicians by offering students a high-‐quality, technical educa?on, which can lead to appren?ceships and higher degrees
§ Once the 15 UTCs are set up, the UK will have a na?onal network of 34 UTCs
§ In October 2012, the UK government announced a scholarship program to aYract top graduates to train as teachers for computer science programs
§ The ini?a?ve is aimed at improving the standard of educa?on and thus, crea?ng a beYer pool of skilled labor
§ The program is backed by companies such as Microson, Facebook, Bri?sh Telecom, and IBM to reduce the gap between the educa?on and industry requirements
§ To effec?vely u?lize its oil resources, Ugandan government decided to develop resources with strong background in oil and gas within the country
§ The government sent people abroad for training courses who are now a part of the team leading their oil sector every year
§ Till 2012, the government had sent 30 people to Trinidad & Tobago to study oil and petroleum related courses
§ The German government is taking steps to liberalize immigra?on laws to make it easier for non-‐EU workers to find employment in the country
§ This is being done to overcome severe skill shortages in engineering, train-‐driving, electronics, and plumbing jobs; according to OECD, the country will face a shortage of 5.4 million workers with voca?onal and ter?ary educa?on by 2025
§ The German Chancellor’s cabinet has passed new immigra?on rules in February 2013, to reduce red-‐tapism, in order to help workers get their qualifica?ons recognized easily

Industry players are adopting innovative strategies to tackle the talent shortage across a myriad of industries
SOLUTIONS ADOPTED
Source: Namibia Ins?tute of Mining Technology; ‘Queensland LNG projects will need imported labour’, Reuters (October 2011); Department of Educa?on, UK
Manufacturing
Case example—Mazak (US) § Like most manufacturing firms in the US, Mazak was facing a
talent shortage during the last decade; however, instead of wai?ng for government to take steps, Mazak’s leadership decided to take proac?ve measures
§ In 2008, the company started a training campaign for entry level posi?ons, which the company calls ‘Tooling University’ ― The training program involves computer-‐based, classroom, and
on-‐the-‐job training with Mazak machines
― Apart from its own training ini?a?ves, the company has also collaborated with local community colleges to offer a two-‐year program for appren?ce engineers and machinists
§ The company’s president sees this as a remarkable improvement, which has enabled them to hire 300 individuals since 2008
Case example—Bechtel (Australia) § Bechtel Australia was facing a talent challenge in the country
in 2011
§ The company reported that shortage of skilled labor nega?vely impacted its revenues in 2011, and that the company will combat this by hiring foreign labor
§ Riley Bechtel, CEO Bechtel, stated that the company will import workers such as electricians and welders into Australia to ensure that manpower shortage did not affect top line performance
ConstrucCon Case example—Rossing and De Beers (Namibia) § Namibia has a popula?on of 2.3 million as of 2011, and the
country faces a severe labor shortage; mining is a cri?cal industry in the country and accounted for 9.5% of the country’s GDP in 2011
§ In order to tackle the shortage of skilled voca?onal workers in the country, Rossing Uranium (Rio Tinto) set up the Namibia Ins?tute of Mining Technology (NIMT) in 1991
― NIMT func?ons as a technical and voca?onal ins?tute, offering courses in mining, manufacturing, and engineering
§ Further, in 2007 De Beers Namibia donated $308,000 to NIMT for its expansion plans
§ The ins?tute produces about 300-‐500 graduates annually, all of whom get absorbed in the mining industry
Oil and Gas, and Mining
IT
Case example—IBM (Global) § IBM’s ‘Academic Ini?a?ve’ program, provides educators free
resources to strengthen their curricula in fields such as cloud compu?ng, informa?on management, big data, and NoSQL databases
― The program provides training material, curriculum guides, sonware, and hardware needed to teach analy?cs and informa?on management skills
― These courses train students to occupy roles such as analy?cs specialists, data scien?sts, big data specialists, data and visualiza?on specialists
§ This was done to bridge the skill demand and supply gap in the IT industry globally, especially in the field of big data and analy?cs
