    Is the "skills gap" real, or is it just the story we've been told to believe? In our first-ever on-location episode of HIRED! The Podcast, host Travis Miller travels to the U.S. headquarters of ABB Robotics to find out. He sits down with Christelle Keefer, Global Segment Manager for Education at ABB, to investigate the surprising truth about retraining our workforce for the age of automation, who is truly responsible for building the next generation of talent, and how quickly it can actually be done. This conversation provides a practical roadmap for any leader trying to solve the labor shortage and for any professional looking to make their career future-proof. We debunk the myth that upskilling takes years, explore why industry must partner with education, and reveal what individuals can do to become indispensable in a crowded job market. // ABOUT OUR GUEST Christelle Keefer is a trailblazer at the intersection of robotics and education.
