INSIGHT AND RESEARCH:

TLA Education currently is focusing on closing the bridge between unemployment and the digital skills industry.
The day will generate feedback and answer the following:

• “Why are so many digital employers struggling to find the right people for the job?”

•  “Why are skilled young people not reaching into top business organisations?”

• “Is the real voice of students being taken in by employers and recruiters within industry?”

• “Do Top businesses need a younger perspective?”

• “Are businesses promoting their Career and Job Opportunities in the right way?”
