Global Technology Education
Expanding companies look to countries with a focus on technology education. Building a reliable workforce depends on the quality education provided to its citizens. As companies search for talent with an expertise in UX design, countries are recognizing the need for development in this area. Providing candidates for these design positions will help boost long-term economies.
Countries are tasked with overcoming the challenge of a constantly evolving technology industry. Universities are adjusting their methods in order to teach more relevant and valuable skills for their local communities. A good example of this issue would be the recent emergence of Web 3.0, NFTs, cryptocurrency and other shifting technological ideals.
A reason the international education sector struggles to educate their communities is because of the salary disparities between the corporate sector and universities. Finding young, qualified individuals to train the up-and-coming generations is a serious challenge all over the world. Since most individuals prefer to pursue a higher income and better career opportunities, the education gap is difficult to fill. Additionally, students aren’t showing as much interest in pursuing career fields in UX design.
Japan, for example, is known for its capabilities with artificial intelligence and robotics, but the country expects to see a decline in workers for big data, AI, and IoT (Internet of Things). It’s expected that this workforce alone will come up short by about 48,000, with a shortfall of nearly 200,000 information security workers.
Today, the top countries making a push for technology education are:
· India
· The Philippines
· Singapore
· Poland
· Costa Rica
· Israel
· Japan
By motivating students to choose degrees in technology, these countries will be ahead of the curve when the demand continues to grow.
