Rand, like other
companies, is always
fighting a war for
talent. One of the
[reasons] that people

You can’t hire your way out
of the global talent crisis
To remain competitive and agile,
you need people with the right
skills to get the job done effectively.
That can be a challenge in today’s
economy where there’s a clear
shortage of talent. According to
The McKinsey Global Institute, “By
2020, the global labor market faces
a shortage of 38-40 million college
educated workers.”2 To respond to
change and satisfy skill gaps, you
need to build and foster internal
talent with learning opportunities
that are accessible and targeted.
Skillsoft helps organizations lay the
foundation for a learning culture
that fosters continuous learning
and engagement by delivering and
tailoring superior performancebased learning and development
solutions. Our unique combination
of content, service and experience
impacts critical areas of performance
and generates powerful business
outcomes for organizations spanning
across industries and the globe.
