With much of the workforce cooped up at home for eight months or so, many of us have had to get increasingly tech-savvy in a hurry.
There is even a term for it: “Digital upskilling.”
Patricia Miller is already a pro. Miller works for management consultants PwC in Tampa, Florida. She signed up for the firm’s “Digital Accelerators” program that aims to boost the high-tech skills of its workforce.
As a result, she went from previous roles in human resource and project management to become an IT operations team lead.
“I didn’t even code prior to this program, and now every time I get to use my coding skills like Python, I do a little happy dance,” Miller said.
