The skills landscape is evolving.
And FAST!!!
Amidst an increasingly uncertain jobs market, and the rise of Gen AI, employees are seeking new skills development opportunities they can apply now or in their next role.
The race for skills is on.
The question is:
Is your organisation ready to respond to the rising demand for skills?
In this month's blog, we're leaping deep into the world of learning and sharing our top tips on how to create an impactful learning experience that drives a continuous learning culture.
Let’s face it...
With rapid developments in the capability of AI, the potential for skills obsolescence across industries is significant.
In fact, 72 percent of Fortune 500 CHROs foresee AI replacing jobs in their organisation in the next three years.
The jobs landscape is evolving, and with it, the demand for new skills is increasing.
This rising demand for skills places increased pressure on businesses to shift their learning culture from an environment where skills development is born out of necessity (compliance-led training) to one where learning is a core element of their Employer Value Proposition (EVP).
So where are exactly are we at?
According to a recent Gallup study, 68% of employees expressed a strong desire to update their skills in 2024. What's more, nearly 50% of employees said they are willing to move jobs to do so.
McKinsey & Company highlight the need for organisations to cultivate a continuous learning environment, with a focus on microlearning opportunities that can be accessed easily and on-demand.
Leaders we've spoken to recently are acutely aware of the need to become a more "skills-based orgnisation", and suggest corporate learning approaches simply aren't keeping pace with the rapid evolution of the skills landscape.
Today's learners crave a learning experience that's accessible, engaging, bite-sized, personalised, and mobile-friendly.
But how can you create a learning experience that checks all these boxes and keeps your skills future-proof?
Here's our Top 5 actionable strategies you can begin implementing in your business today to help you deliver a stand out Learning experience.
The Future of Learning is Now: 5 SureFire Ways to Enhance your Learning Experience
1. Improve Accessibility & Embrace On-Demand Learning:
Learner Need: Modern learners crave flexibility. They want to fit learning into their busy schedules, not the other way around. On-demand learning allows them to access materials anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Solution: Offer eLearning courses through a Learning Management System (LMS) or mobile app. This allows learners to access materials anytime, anywhere, and on any device.
2. Inject Interactivity and Engagement:
Learner Need Today's learners aren't passive participants. They crave interaction, stimulation, and experiences that keep them hooked.
Solution: Integrate interactive elements like quizzes, polls, simulations, and gamification into your learning modules. This keeps learners actively involved and motivated to complete the course.
3. Break Down Knowledge into Bite-Sized Chunks:
Learner Need: Attention spans are shrinking, and learners today are bombarded with information. Bite-sized content allows them to focus on specific topics quickly and efficiently.
Solution: Break down complex topics into short, focused modules (5-15 minutes) that cater to shorter attention spans and allow learners to easily fit learning into their busy schedules.
4. Personalise the Learning Journey:
Learner need: One-size-fits-all learning doesn't work anymore. Learners want a curriculum that caters to their individual needs and goals.
Solution: Use pre-assessments to identify individual learning needs and curate personalized learning paths. Offer recommendations for additional resources based on progress and goals. Implement adaptive learning technology that adjusts the difficulty and content based on the learner's performance.
5. Go Mobile-First:
Learner need: Mobile devices are an extension of ourselves. Learners want to access learning materials on the go, whether they're commuting, waiting in line at the coffee shop, or taking a quick break.
Solution: Ensure all eLearning courses are mobile-responsive and optimised for smaller screens. This makes learning accessible and allows learners to take advantage of short breaks or commutes to complete learning modules.
