The IoT Community and Certnexus Partner to Address Global IoT Skills Gap
CertNexus, the global purveyor of vendor neutral, emerging technology certifications and micro-credentials and the Internet of Things Community® (IoT Community®), the world’s largest and longest standing global independent IoT Community, today announced a partnership to facilitate and accelerate closing the rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT) skills gap.
According to a report by Inmarstat, 76% of companies surveyed require additional senior, strategic-level staff with skills in IoT, and 80% do not possess the IoT skills required to ensure their current IoT solutions will work as intended. According to Bain and Company, the IoT industry is on its way to becoming a $450 billion industry, and organizations will require investments in training and validating skills in order to succeed in this rapidly growing environment.
