From the course: The Future of Workplace Learning (2020)

Why workplace learning matters

- Did you know that almost half of the core skills required to perform existing jobs are expected to change in the next two years? And that's just existing jobs, not to mention all the new ones that will continue to appear in a world that's changing faster and faster. That's why there's never been a more critical time for up-skilling and re-skilling. It's the difference between people and the companies that employ them staying relevant or becoming redundant. A lot of business leaders are waking up to this, and are deciding to invest in a new learning platform. But a tech-first approach is not the answer. It's like buying a race car without knowing how to drive it, how to make a pit stop, or having gas to fill the tank. I'm Amanda Nolen, co-founder of NilesNolen, advising global organizations on learning transformation and ed-tech. So what else does L&D need to do to transform? Join me and we'll tackle this question, and I'll also show you how to get buy-in and the investment you need to make real change.
