The whole world is talking about upskilling and reskilling, which brings business opportunities for you as a training provider or vendor. Not sure what these opportunities are? No need to worry, because the groundwork has been laid out for you!

Did you know that the skills gap is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030? By then, 375 million workers globally need to be reskilled. These and many other facts were revealed to us over the past four months. Along with several learning experts, we researched all relevant aspects of the skills obsession.

After months of research, Ger Driesen and Simon Wallis take a look back and discuss the learning points.

What’s in it for you?

  • Insights from different parts of the learning world
    and ideas for business opportunities, based on the skills obsession;
  • Great input to change your conversations with business leaders
    and strengthen your professional reputation;
  • An hour full of interesting and even thought-provoking discussions!

“If there’s one group of organisations that should be on top of this obsession around skills, it’s training providers.”

Ger has been invested in the skills obsession from the start and jumped right into action when we started our search for answers. He put a lot of time and effort in the topic: from interviewing learning professionals for the Perspectives Guide, to writing some blogs on skills himself.

“Understand what the organisational need is and keep track of what the skills are needed at any one time.”

Simon Wallis is one of the four experts who shared their perspective on the skills obsession. He has been involved in the conversation and sees what is happening. According to him, one of the main challenges for learning departments and learning providers is focus.
