And ironically, those people are much more likely to be senior executives in the business of IT. How will those highly experienced update their tech knowledge and bring new strategies to leveraging tech for business and for diversity in the industry? Talk to a youth.<\/p>\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxfocussucceed.com\/2022\/06\/millennials-and-gen-x-are-not-a-problem-to-be-dealt-with\/\"> https:\/\/relaxfocussucceed.com\/2022\/06\/millennials-and-gen-x-are-not-a-problem-to-be-dealt-with\/<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Topic 2: Apprenticeships are going into industries beyond the trades \u2026 are reinforcements on the way? Or are companies still insisting on only hiring &#8220;the best of the best&#8221; in tech roles?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/08\/22\/apprenticeships\">https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/08\/22\/apprenticeships<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s well known that there are massive shortages of cybersecurity workers \u2026 at the same time as cyber threats are are escalating. How can the industry catch up? Certainly not by insisting on advanced credentials for candidates who need to do jobs that focus on mass quantity cyber threats. BTW: there&#8217;s a big difference between an &#8220;internship&#8221; and an &#8220;apprenticeship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.protocol.com\/newsletters\/protocol-workplace\/pwc-pulse-survey?rebelltitem=5#rebelltitem5\"> https:\/\/www.protocol.com\/newsletters\/protocol-workplace\/pwc-pulse-survey?rebelltitem=5#rebelltitem5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Companies are shifting from rapid hiring to layoffs \u2026 while still indicating they intend to hire. It&#8217;s a natural impulse to continuously improve the mix of talent in your workforce, but will this strategy of &#8220;only the best&#8221; ever catch up with cybersecurity needs?<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Topic 3: Amazon is leaning into the healthcare industry \u2026 with some fairly predictable performance so far<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2022\/08\/19\/amazon-care-patient-safety-concerns\/\"> https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2022\/08\/19\/amazon-care-patient-safety-concerns\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The notion of a business model is fairly straightforward: what you do + who you do it for x how you do it = how you make money. Not too many variables, and every time someone says they&#8217;re going to use technology to revolutionize or disrupt an industry, what they really mean is that they will replace human labor with technology for one of the business model elements. To absolutely no one&#8217;s surprise, Amazon&#8217;s efforts to disrupt the healthcare industry are leading to less human involvement in healthcare delivery. Is that a good thing?<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Sponsor Memo: Gozynta<\/p>\n<p>Do you like getting paid?
