skills shortage

International nurses are flocking to our shores - but not with the skills required.

Gore Hospital recently had 80 nurses apply for an emergency department role - but say only 98 percent of applicants had the relevant qualifications.

It comes as the country is four and a half thousand nurses short.

Gore Health chief executive Karl Metzler told Mike Hosking that they're being turned away due to a skill issue - not a lack of understanding in New Zealand culture.

He says the hospital employs Russians, Germans, Filipinos and Indians - and prides themselves on being diverse.

Canada’s labour force isn’t growing fast enough to keep up with the aging population.  On one hand we have a labour supply challenge. But, on the other hand the workers we do have don’t always have the skill sets that we need today, but particularly into the future.  

My guests this episode are both actively working to reshape our skills development and labour market preparedness for students today so that they can fill the labour market demands of tomorrow.  We explore how educational institutions are evolving to better equip students for workplaces and how better relationships between employers, educators and the K-12 system are starting to reshape how skills are taught and how people can gain a better understanding of the career options that are available to them.

Businesses face reputational risk and can suffer major operational disruption as a result of a breach, making security more important than ever. Murphy explains how Imperva helps customers protect their data, applications, and APIs from cyberattacks, and  discusses the need for security vendors as trusted partners to focus on time to value and total cost of ownership, especially given the growing skills shortage in the security sector.
