    <description>&lt;H2&gt;The Data + AI Skills Gap&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The “skills gap” has been a concern for CEOs and leaders for many years, and the gap is only widening. According to&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericmosley/2024/03/26/mind-the-skills-gap/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"&gt;McKinsey&lt;/A&gt;, as many as 375 million workers globally might have to change occupations soon to meet company needs. There is a significant divide between where workforces are presently and where they need to be in a few years. With this anticipated gap in mind, leaders need to shift their focus on upskilling and reskilling their workforce. This skills gap is especially felt with the fast-paced technology advancements of data + AI.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;Impact of Databricks Training on Organizations&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In a recent survey with hundreds of team leaders and people managers, we asked them to quantify the impact that Databricks training has had on their teams and organizations. Across a range of metrics from cost savings to greater efficiency to the ability to solve new business problems, team leaders have first-hand experienced the positive impact that Databricks training has had on their team’s overall effectiveness and the outcomes they have been able to achieve for their organizations.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;As organizational needs have evolved, Databricks has been at the leading edge of the data + AI revolution and in parallel has deeply invested in ensuring the present and future data + AI talent is set up for success through Databricks training.
