As economies begin to rebound across the world, businesses are struggling to hire the right skills they need to fill roles.

This has seen a boom in the e-learning and upskilling sectors, and TEX.inc is at the forefront of this evolution.

“Australia would have 150,000-200,000 people from overseas, here, filling the gaps,” Tex.inc Founder and CEO Darren Scott revealed to Ticker News. “And those would predominantly be in the digital and tech space.

“But now, there is a pent-up demand, as companies are now trying to accelerate projects that were put on hold because of a slowdown.”

Tex.inc is an open video-based marketplace that enables real-time learning and upskilling by connecting people one-to-one with the right expert, at the right time.

“Gone are the days where you send your employees to a training course,” adds Scott. “Now companies are looking at the expertise that exists within their business – and using that breadth to train others.”

Should the companies experience shortages, what could it mean for business projects?

“Things could grind to a halt, or be delayed. This could also hurt Australia’s global competitiveness for years to come.”

According to a recent study by Calabasus in 2021, a staggering 65% of professionals suffer from impostor syndrome, shedding light on the pervasive nature of this issue.

However, despite its prevalence, impostor syndrome remains one of the least discussed yet most impactful challenges facing professionals today, as highlighted by research from KPMG.
