Focus Minneapolis

The shift from relying on L&D to self-directed learning has left many organizations wondering about the role of L&D in a worker-driven world. Does L&D curate learning? Design learning? Let learners control it all?

We think the best place to start is by understanding how your workforce learns so you can better enable their skill development.

The general sentiment is that we have some work to do on aligning learning to skill development. Only 41%* of the workforce feels their managers help them understand the skills they need to advance their careers. We know because we asked them in a recent survey from Degreed and Harvard Business Publishing.

We see a major opportunity and we’ve got some ideas to share.

Join us for a workshop and deep dive on how to leverage this opportunity with your workers:

• How people fuel their careers and build their skills in 2019
• What our modern workforce wants from their corporate learning teams
• How innovative organizations are building skills and designing learning experiences not just providing content
• How you can help your learners align learning to their goals to drive your organization’s success
