Randi Zuckerberg on Why Business Owners Need Continuous Education to Close the Tech Skills Gap
Technology is changing so quickly that in the wake of progress we have a different problem developing; the tech skills gap. Not only is there a gap that exists for small business owners who don’t stay up to date with current technologies, but we are seeing a major gap in students graduating with the skills that employers really need.
On the heels of SXSW and in partnership with Devry University, I spoke with Randi Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Zuckerberg Media and sister of technology entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, to discuss what steps small business owners and entrepreneurs can take to start closing the tech skills gap, including continuous education.
[Tweet “.@randizuckerberg shares the role #smallbiz owners need to take to close the #tech skills gap.”]As Randi expressed in the interview, it is the responsibility of small business owners and entrepreneurs to educate themselves.
We also discussed if one needs to attend a traditional four-year school or if there are other alternatives. While it does depend on the individual, what’s most important is finding a program that will work for you and is designed to offer you the most.
