In an era where technological advancements are reshaping the workforce landscape at an unprecedented pace, the focus on skills rather than traditional credentials has never been more crucial. Today I want to spotlight PwC's "New World, New Skills" program, which embodies the essence of a skills-based approach.

PwC is leading by example, committing $3 billion towards upskilling its global workforce, ensuring that its 276,000 employees are equipped to thrive in a digital world. This program not only aims to enhance digital competencies across the board but also to make a measurable impact on PwC's people, clients, and communities by building a more diverse, tech-skilled workforce and fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.

As we navigate through the digital transformation, the need for skills such as data analytics, artificial intelligence, and robotics process automation becomes increasingly evident. However, PwC's approach goes beyond technical skills, focusing on cultivating a mindset of adaptability, problem-solving, and digital fluency among its workforce.

This strategic focus on upskilling is a clarion call for organizations worldwide to reassess their talent strategies. It's an invitation to shift from traditional hiring practices towards a skills-based model that values capabilities and potential, paving the way for a more inclusive, dynamic, and resilient workforce.
