<\/strong>Latin America and the Caribbean are estimated to need another 2.5 million <strong>digital professionals<\/strong> over the next five years, according to a recent study on <strong>digital talent<\/strong> commissioned by <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Huawei<\/mark><\/strong> and carried out by the <strong>consultancy IDC.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The report, released at an event on Thursday, notes that spending on <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">information technology (IT)<\/mark><\/strong> in the region is slightly above the global average growth and much higher than GDP growth in the region, and is expected to trend above around 10.2% by 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Enterprise <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">IT<\/mark><\/strong> spending in the region is expected to grow by 12.6% in 2023, and companies in Latin America are expected to continue struggling with a lack of skilled labour in sectors related to <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">information and communications technology (ICT),<\/mark><\/strong> the report says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Technology roles have remained comparatively stable despite rising unemployment and the economic downturn during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Demand for digital talent has been growing steadily in recent years, creating a gap between supply and demand,&#8221;<\/em> <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">said Cesar Funes, vice president of public affairs at Huawei Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;On top of that, there is often a serious problem of mismatch between supply and demand in terms of skills,&#8221;<\/em> he added, citing the rapidly evolving landscape of digital technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Experts and young people working in the industry or who took part in <strong>digital talent<\/strong> programmes discussed the state of regional digital talent and its challenges in a panel held alongside the launch of the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The study highlighted three channels to help companies grow the pool of <strong>digital talent<\/strong>: ongoing training, professional development and the use of business partners&#8217; latest technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In particular, the <strong>IDC<\/strong> report suggests that companies make greater efforts to drive cloud automation based on <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">artificial intelligence<\/mark><\/strong> and machine learning, which improves the resilience of digital businesses and enhances the customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">It also suggests freeing up essential staff for more creative work while placing more emphasis on <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">IT<\/mark><\/strong> automation, thereby increasing workforce productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">During the event, <strong>Carlos Nazareth Marins, director of Inatel, Brazil,<\/strong> said the emergence of large language models such as <strong>ChatGPT<\/strong> and <strong>Pangu<\/strong> \u2013 a large <strong>AI<\/strong> model developed by <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Huawei<\/mark><\/strong> \u2013 is expected to have an impact on <strong>digital education.<\/strong> &#8220;It&#8217;s a reality that <strong>AI<\/strong> will be part of our lives. We need to change the way we learn. <strong>Artificial intelligence<\/strong> is a good tool for the future. That&#8217;s the big challenge for us,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The experts and young professionals at the event said these developments call for joint efforts among stakeholders such as policymakers, the private sector, and schools and universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;What we do know is that <strong>ChatGPT<\/strong> will change the way our future generations acquire knowledge and skills, and it will definitely change the way education is delivered,&#8221;<\/em><strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">said Shau Wa Yu Tan, public relations manager at<\/mark><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> Huawei Mexico, <\/mark><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">who is involved in digital talent programmes.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Huawei, a global ICT leader,<\/mark><\/strong> is both the employer and the cultivator of one of the world&#8217;s largest pools of top <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">ICT<\/mark><\/strong> talent. The company has more than 200,000 employees worldwide, more than half of them in research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Huawei<\/mark><\/strong> <mark class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">has launched several talent initiatives worldwide. In Latin America and the Caribbean, this year the company is celebrating the tenth anniversary of the arrival in the region of its flagship training programme,<\/mark><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> <\/mark><strong><mark style=\"color:#137a29\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Seeds for the Future.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, the <strong><mark style=\"color:#137a29\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Seeds for the Future<\/mark><\/strong> programme was first held in the region in Colombia (2014) and then expanded to cover some 20 countries. Since then, <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Huawei<\/mark><\/strong> has offered scholarships to some 2,000 students in total in Latin America and the Caribbean to visit <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Huawei&#8217;s<\/mark><\/strong> headquarters in Shenzhen, China. During the pandemic, the courses moved online to keep them going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;When we look back, we can say that we have kept it going, even during the pandemic years. We have also constantly updated the programme, and it is now mainly Seeds for the Future 2.0 in many of the countries in the region where we have launched it,&#8221;<\/em> said Funes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The winning students usually receive a scholarship that funds a trip to China, where they spend two weeks on an immersive educational programme at <strong><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Huawei<\/mark><\/strong>, receive guidance from engineers working at the company and are exposed to the latest trends in digital technology. They also visit cities and companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;I think initiatives like this are extremely valuable, not only for showcasing young talent but also for showing us what we can do in the long term,&#8221;<\/em> said <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Leticia de Oliveira Silva, a delivery project management specialist at <\/mark><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Huawei Brazil,<\/mark><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\"> who took part in the <\/mark><mark style=\"color:#137a29\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Seeds for the Future programme.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"color:#c70000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Leticia joined the company about five years ago and is now also involved in women-in-tech initiatives. She was the only one in her family to get a job at one of the best companies in the technology industry.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;The <mark style=\"color:#137a29\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Seeds for the Future programme<\/strong> <\/mark>changed my life: no woman in my family worked in technology, so for me it was an extremely distant reality,&#8221;<\/em> says the 26-year-old project manager, daughter of a business administrator. Her story was featured in a documentary earlier this year. <em>&#8220;The mirror is what we need,&#8221;<\/em> a proud Leticia says in the documentary. &#8220;<em>With the programme we had the opportunity to travel to China.
