IBM announces plan to hire 25K ahead of Trump meeting
 [The Hill] The CEO of IBM announced on the eve of a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump that the company plans to hire 25,000 "new collar" employees.In a USA Today op-ed, CEO Ginni Rometty announced that the new jobs will come over the span of four years, including 6,000 in 2017. "We are hiring because the nature of work is evolving ‐ and that is also why so many of these jobs remain hard to fill," wrote Rometty. "As industries from manufacturing to agriculture are reshaped by data science and cloud computing, jobs are being created that demand new skills ‐ which in turn requires new approaches to education, training and recruiting." Rometty is one of a handful of tech executives who will be meeting with the president-elect at Trump Tower on Wednesday. She wrote that the company is also planning to spend $1 billion on training and developing IBM employees in the U.S. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-12-14 |
