Put Your IT Talent to Work as a Managed IT Service Provider Expert

In an article by Forbes, companies are overcoming the War for Talent and skills shortage by seeking a new set of workers referred to as “new-collar workers.”

What is a New-Collar Worker?

Forbes indicates a new-collar worker is an individual who develops the technical and soft skills needed to work in technology jobs through nontraditional education paths. These workers do not have a four-year degree from college. Instead, the new-collar worker is trained through community colleges, vocational schools, software boot camps, technical certification programs, high school technical education and on-the job apprentices and internships.

The term new-collar worker was originated by IBM’s former CEO Ginni Rometty [Ladders]. This classification of employee evolved when faced with the challenge of hiring technical jobs, including cloud computing technicians, database managers, cybersecurity, user interface designers and other IT roles. New-collar jobs are “roles in technology that prioritize skills and capabilities over degrees or having a traditional career path.” To Rometty, the most important facet of a new-collar worker isn’t just their skills, it’s their commitment to lifelong learning. By collaborating with the community and schools and updating in-house training programs to attract job candidates, employers are finding a wealth of IT talent with the qualifications needed to fill IT jobs, thus bypassing the skills shortage gap.
