UST STEP IT UP
The Step IT Up initiative from digital transformation specialists UST trains minority , women and veteran candidates for in-demand technology jobs
Organisations worldwide face a skills shortage that could quickly become a crisis . Facing the perfect personnel storm due to the pandemic , digital transformation and the so-called Great Resignation , there are more vacant IT jobs than qualified people ready and prepared for those roles . Demand is high and supply is low , which means wage inflation as companies become embroiled in a bidding war to hire and retain talent . It ’ s a problem that isn ’ t going away anytime soon , but only one with a brilliant solution .
UST Step IT Up takes talented individuals from minority communities , women and service veterans and trains them in skills that employers need right now . From cyber security analyst to scrum master , from python developer to project manager – Step IT Up ’ s intensive apprenticeship programme makes a meaningful difference . The accelerated talent development programme has already placed more than 1,000 candidates in the US , Europe , and Australia as the global footprint of this initiative expands .
