Picture this: your team is motivated and talented but somehow hitting a wall due to specific gaps in knowledge or expertise. Imagine if that wall was broken down, revealing a pathway to higher productivity, smoother workflows, and innovative growth. This is precisely what the African Talent Company (TATC) and Talstack’s skills gap survey aim to bring to life.
As businesses grow, new challenges emerge, especially those tied to workforce skills.
Understanding where the skill gaps lie is the first step toward bridging them. We’re launching a skills gap survey. Our target includes key decision-makers like HR Managers, C-level executives, and Department Heads. Our target industries are Tech, Media, Finance, and Professional Services. These leaders are in the best position to identify pain points within their teams and give us critical insights into the training solutions that will make a difference.

Who are TATC & Talstack?

Talstack enables companies across Africa and various industries to accelerate their teams’ performance. They deploy courses, practical insights, and tools developed by top African professionals, operators, and business leaders.
What is the Goal of the Skills Gap Survey?
Our goal? To gather insights that don’t just scratch the surface but dive deep. We want to know the challenges these businesses face with skill gaps, understand if they’re already tackling them, and gauge their openness to training solutions. And it’s not just about collecting data. These leaders actively create a learning environment tailored to their teams’ needs by contributing to this survey. With input from businesses in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Uganda, we’re building a regional blueprint for practical, actionable training programs.
But here’s the thing—this isn’t a passive survey. We’re aiming for 200 respondents each in Nigeria and Kenya and 100 each in Ghana and Uganda, with an ambitious conversion target of 20% to bring us closer to 120 customers ready to make change happen. For those who complete it, it’s an opportunity to contribute to shaping solutions that reflect real needs in the industry right here and now.
What is The Importance of The Survey to Business Growth?
As the business world grows more competitive, timely, practical training becomes critical.
We’ve designed this survey to get to the heart of the issue, addressing questions about pain points, learning platforms, and willingness to invest in skills training. The data from the survey will
- Enable Talstack and TATC to understand the deficient areas in the workforce.
- Provide the information needed to develop practical long-term solutions.
- Empower Talstack and TATC provide employers with solutions to enhance employee competencies in different areas.
And we’re putting an urgent call out to every industry leader, big or small: join us in creating a prepared and primed workforce to thrive in the modern economy.
So, if you’re ready to make a tangible difference in your team’s growth and productivity, don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Based on the results of this survey, we’ll work together to develop training solutions that directly address your needs, helping your team stay ahead and adapt to a fast-paced world.
