CEO of IBM Ginni Rometty claimed about the intention to hire 25 ths people in the USA and invest $1 bln within next four year, RNS reports.
According to Rometty, global labor market dynamics is changing, while in the USA there are many unfilled vacancies in technology sector. The problem is the lack of specialists with necessary skills, she noted.
“The cloud technologies and data processing change their areas, from industry to agriculture, so there emerge new jobs, which require new skills, which, in its turn, require new approaches to education, preparation and recruiting”, Rometty reports.
It is reported that this announcement is not anyhow connected with the meeting of US leading technology companies (including IBM) with Donald Trump, scheduled for December 14.
As Bloomberg reports, for the past several years, IBM was criticized for closure of thousands of jobs in the USA and transfer of resources to such countries as India. In 2013, its staff decreased for the first time for the decade; in 2014, it decreased by 12%.
In March, IBM reported about 25 ths open vacancies, available around the world, and the beginning of reduction of some jobs in the USA within “state rebalancing” – it was expected to hire employees with the skills in the sphere of cloud and other new technologies.
