Quantum Education: Building the Workforce of the Future

A McKinsey report highlighted that for every three quantum computing job openings, there’s only one qualified candidate, with projections suggesting that less than half of all quantum jobs will be filled by 2025. This calls for innovative resource development and upskilling in quantum computing across the world.

In this webinar, we explore how one can leverage tutorials on IQM Academy (free online quantum training course) to level up their skills on the IQM Resonance cloud platform and learn about the EuroCC National Competence Centre Sweden (ENCCS) at RISE Institute Sweden’s initiatives to promote quantum education. We also learn about IQM Spark which can help students and academicians get started with hands-on on-premise quantum computing in universities. Our experts also discussed the gaps between academia and industry in quantum technologies and outlined strategies to enhance collaboration and prepare students for the quantum workforce.
