Skills shortage, onboarding recruiting with artificial intelligence, metaverse, VR, AR – cyber security data protection for SMEs, skilled trades and the future of education and training
In times of a shortage of skilled workers, future trainees are increasingly opting for companies that integrate these innovative technologies into their training, as they offer modern, practical learning methods and thus create better prospects for the future. This makes the use of new technologies a decisive factor in recruiting staff and maintaining competitiveness.
However, this digital transformation presents SMEs and the skilled trades with new challenges in terms of the shortage of skilled workers and the training of their employees. Our event provides a practical demonstration of how artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and the metaverse can improve recruiting, onboarding and training – with a special focus on cyber security and data protection.
