The fast change in technology has changed the world. It also came with a war for talent. And it will only get worse. If nothing is done about it, there will be 541.000 open vacancies in Belgium by 2030.

This includes 60.000 vacancies for digital experts. Of these 16.000 are in the IT sector. What are we going to do about it?

• To which extend can we rely on RPA, IA, low code developments,...?
• Do IT experts need to retire later?
• Can we make IT education more attractive, in particular for women?
• Can we make some IT education mandatory or integrate it in other faculties?
• How can IT leaders contribute today to avoid more shortages tomorrow?
• How can you make your organisation resilient to a shortage of IT experts? 
• Can we train employees in other departments to be more self-sufficient?
• What are other companies doing to train their employees in IT?

You are welcome at an online meeting on Thursday March 31 from 16:30 till 18:00 to exchange thoughts with your peers. The online round table will be initiated by a presentation by

• Saskia Van Uffelen, Digital Champion Belgium Boosting Digital Skills and Jobs for everybody !
