By 2025, Singapore will need 1.2 million more digital workers to remain competitive.
This digital skills gap requires urgent action from business leaders and the government alike.
The Salesforce-YouGov Digital Skills - Singapore report reveals the current capabilities, expectations, and requirements for digital skilling across industries. It includes private, public, and not-for-profit organisations with one to more than 100 employees. These findings are based on a survey conducted with more than 1,000 mid-level managers and senior management professionals in Singapore.
“91% of the surveyed managers, for example, believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for digital skills in their organisation.”
