The pandemic has played a major part in accelerating dramatic global change. The economic fallout, along with the associated job loss, has been drastic. The nature of work has dramatically shifted to be more remote, digital, and automated. And the demand for reskilling has now been turbo-charged. While the U.S. has made progress with new job creation over the past year, the country has not been immune to the skills gap.

As of June 2021, there are 9+ million job openings 1 yet 9+ million people remain unemployed. From a supply and demand perspective, there is a willing worker available for every open job. Yet, these two sides of the equation do not always align. This is because of the skills mismatch between what employers are looking for relative to what these potential employees have to offer. What is being done to bridge this gap and get workers back into the labor market? How can we close the gap between millions of open jobs and millions of people ready and willing to work? What role can play in this critical economic development?

The need for new skills pathways provides a unique opportunity for individuals and businesses to revisit their core educational missions. Teaching and learning, with an emphasis on in-demand skills development and a renewed focus on the lifelong learner market.

We have a system designed for 100 years ago, and 100 years ago we had a very different population of students,”
- Dr. Lande Ajose, senior policy advisor for higher education for the Office of Governor Gavin Newsom

In this post-pandemic world, more than ever before, organizations have realized the benefits of adopting agile. There’s a huge demand for Scrum Masters and Product Owners who can help departments go agile, increase the efficiency of teams, and help organizations respond to rapidly changing market conditions.

Having Scrum team members on-board means better products, shorter time to market, satisfied customers, and a happier workforce.
Agile Methodologies and Scrum Framework is the future of work. Scrum career trajectory is long and successful.

Now is the time for Agile and Scrum Masterclass. Produced as a new solution tailored to recent graduates and adult learners, across all skill levels and around the globe.

Agile and Scrum Masterclass plays a leading role in national economic recovery and is a driver of opportunity and growth.

Failure for colleges and universities to adapt to this new reality might not only challenge their relevance but also contribute to an unequal labor force as workers with less education are more vulnerable to unemployment.
