Akademi GA aims to close the digital skills gap by offering classes in software engineering and digital marketing, among others. A lot of people tend to only think about upskilling and reskilling when it is too late, he adds. Since these centres have close relationships with industry partners, they could also match the supply and demand for tech skills. Ram does not think there will be an oversupply of tech talent because tech cuts across all industries, including healthcare and education. As the tech industry grows, more innovation will occur and more tech talent will be needed.
