Description

According to a recent Gartner study, employees' skill needs are growing by 10% each year, and one third of the skills used three years ago are now irrelevant.

Skills have become "the new talent currency", and organizations of all sizes (across all industries) are needing to improve and enrich the skills of their workforce to keep up with the rapid pace of change.

Join us to learn from the experiences of others and share your experiences with your peers! Together, we will explore:

Upskilling beyond the classroom: the 70-20-10 Model for Learning & Development
How to determine what skills are needed for the future, and which skills other companies are prioritizing
The role of leaders, mentors and coaches in individual team member development
Embedding upskilling activities in both cost-constrained and time-constrained environments
Connecting the "people" part of upskilling to process and technology growth

We will hear from Suzanne Sherry at human capital consulting firm, excellerate3, Jen Palzkill at member company Lands' End, and James Altwies at member company Exact Sciences. We will also learn from each other in interactive breakout groups.
