The Skillset Economy
Program Description:
Today’s workforce expects more from their employers than compensation alone. This new generation of employees values their own personal and professional development as much as their monthly paycheck. The companies who meet this challenge with an evolved learning program adapted to each learner’s personalized needs will attract and retain the best talent.
In this presentation, Jon Tota defines this new Skillset Economy and explains why developing skillsets learned into competencies earned matters now. He will provide an overview of the digital media tools you can leverage to personalize your learning program. And you’ll see it in action through case studies of companies who are effectively developing the most valuable resource they have – their people.
