On demand - Bridging the skills gap: Upskilling existing telecoms talent

While supply chain issues have dominated the mainstream news over the past few years, the shortage of skilled staff throughout the supply chain continues to present challenges to the telecoms industry.

• The concept of 'unlearning'
