- Fordham University and IBM Collaborate to Prepare Students for the New Wave of Jobs
On Wednesday, December 9, Fordham University and IBM will gather leaders from academia, the venture capital community, government and the health care industry to discuss the coming wave of new jobs that will require analytics skills.
A recent Global CIO Study revealed that 83 percent of executives ranked business analytics -- the ability to see patterns in vast amounts of data and extract actionable insight -- as their top priority. At the same time, with $1.8 trillion being spent worldwide on economic stimulus -- analytics technologies will be needed to make sense of the information coming from new infrastructures that are on the way.
Together, these developments offer an opportunity for students to develop new skills to apply analytics to the country’s most complex business and societal challenges.
Recent reports state that if training and education programs do not continue, we may see a skills shortage as the economy rebounds and the technology needs of both the private sector and government agencies increases.
Prominent leaders will be on hand including Kamal Bherwani, CIO, New York Health and Human Services, Bob Himmelberg, Dean, Fordham Graduate School of Business Administration, Donna Rapaccioli, Dean, Fordham College of Business Administration, Evangelos Simoudis, Managing Director, Trident Capital, Jonathan Bowles, Director, Center for an Urban Future and Ambuj Goyal, General Manager, Business Analytics and Process Optimization, IBM,
