Filling the digital transformation skills gap with exceptional talent

As digital transformation initiatives accelerate, many companies continue to see talent shortages in key areas. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with SkillStorm's Chairman and Co-Founder Vince Virga about his successful solution to the problem. SkillStorm connects companies with veterans transitioning out of the military and provides them with the training they need to succeed in the rapidly changing tech environments of today and the future. It's a win-win situation.

 

Everything we do is about making sure that the people that we're interfacing with, we're doing the best job of preparing them for success…so, it's not just about training them. It's training them to make sure they can be successful.


Vince Virga is the co-founder and chairman of SkillStorm, where he has helped veterans acquire in-demand skills since 2002. He was also the co-founder of SGIS, which was acquired in 2010 by Salient Federal Solutions.
