Human Capital Trends 2016 Report: Four powerful forces are driving unstoppable change that’s impacting how HR is led and the programs it designs.

Meanwhile, a recent Information and Communications Technology Council report found that the estimated 182,000 workers needed in the digital market by 2019 cannot be met by current levels of graduates and workers with the relevant skillset.
