Closing the gender gap to produce better business outcomes

Join us in this in-depth discussion where we’ll explore the challenges faced by enterprises when it comes to growing digital talent and learn the tactics to lead in today’s tech-driven environment.

Redefine your talent strategy to win in the digital-first world

Udacity's Talent Transformation Global Impact Report, recently launched in collaboration with Ipsos, highlights a glaring disconnect amongst enterprises:

- 80% of enterprises who offer L&D programs classify them as at least moderately successful.

- Only 45% of employees who have access to such programs say they are satisfied with them. Clearly, workers expect more.

Join us for an in-depth discussion and learn how to assess talent gaps, build an implementation strategy, get buy-in from company leadership, keep learners engaged, and measure the KPIs and business outcomes of your talent transformation program.

Total Economic Impact™ of Udacity for the Oil & Gas Industry.

The pandemic has impacted organizations in many ways. We’ve seen immense pressure on costs, productivity, and digital readiness, in addition to large-scale workforce challenges like talent availability, engagement, and retention. While embracing digital technologies can help, these tools are only as good as the people who use them. And this is where organizations fall behind--lack of job-ready talent with the right mindset to get stuff done.

Listen to this in-depth discussion on global talent transformation, its impact on employee engagement and retention, and how a talent-obsessed culture drives diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Fighting the Great Attrition with Radical Talent Transformation.

In 2020, several tech companies entered into conversations and promises about increasing representation in the workplace for underrepresented groups. But, these promises went unfulfilled. In fact, women still remain underrepresented in job clusters like computing and engineering, according to a Pew Research report. In this panel, our line-up of senior leaders address how companies can increase representation and truly build an inclusive culture in the workforce today.

Women who Future

Despite those accomplishments, women leave the industry twice as often as men do, according to research from the Association of Women in Science.

Opening Keynote: The Tech Landscape and Why Tech Needs Diversity

The pandemic forced many enterprises to embrace digital workflows for their remote workforces. But it also made enterprises far more vulnerable to Cybersecurity threats. Data from the Information Systems Security Association found a 63% increase in cyber attacks related to the pandemic, calling COVID a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for hackers and online scammers.”

Listen to this in-depth discussion on the relevance of cybersecurity in boardroom discussions, the role of security professionals in enterprise-wide talent transformation, and tactics for organizations to close the cybersecurity skills gap.

Rethinking Cybersecurity in Today's Digital Age with Okta

Among the many digital transformation challenges that IT leaders must overcome in the next 18-24 months, comprehensive training is one of the biggest. IDC research shows that investment in training impacts how quickly organizations can adopt the cloud: comprehensively trained organizations are 81% more likely to "move up" a cloud adoption stage in the next 24 months. Join us for an overview of the digital priorities and impact of skills for the telecommunications industry featuring experts from IDC and Udacity.

Talent Pipeline Issue Hindering Digital Transformation Initiatives (Prof.Serv)

The IT talent gap issue is very real. In the financial services industry, digital disruption is reshaping tech investments and operations. As a result, digital skills gaps exist across organizations, specifically in data and data science. In addition to hiring new staff, IT teams also need to empower and create opportunities for employees to develop new skills in order to unlock data-driven business insights. Join experts from Udacity and IDC as they explore these issues and the potential solutions.

The business case for diversity and inclusion has never been stronger. Leaders and individuals from public, private and social sectors are striving to make meaningful cultural changes to remove unconscious bias and inclusivity barriers. Yet, in spite of all these efforts, challenges around racial equity have only increased and the progress has been incredibly slow.

Join us for a lively panel discussion where we will talk about the current state of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the systemic changes that are needed, and how a focus on job-ready talent can create long-term, sustainable economic opportunities for underrepresented people.
