Is programming dead? Are IT jobs going down? This panel challenges the skill-gap narrative of “bridging education and business”. We will discuss the job opportunities in today’s tech world and examine why do skills, motivation and education so often fail to convert into real opportunities? Panelists will discuss structural mismatches, risk-averse hiring practices, and the unintended consequences of well-meaning initiatives. Using programmes like Dreams into Jobs as a starting point, the discussion will focus on what truly needs to change for the labour market to become more accessible, realistic and effective.
