San Diego’s demand for talent in business
This summer, EDC’s Advancing San Diego program, in partnership with the Border Region Talent Pipeline K-16 Collaborative, launched the 2024 Business Talent Demand Report. We gathered insights from six leading San Diego employers and surveyed 120 businesses to identify key skill gaps and in-demand entry-level roles. The report highlights high-demand positions, alongside turnover and training challenges, which emphasize the need for more intentional talent pipeline development.
