Around 1.4 million workers will need reskilling by 2026. As the pandemic accelerates existing work from home, automation, and digital transformation trends, up to 25% more workers than were previously expected might need to switch occupations to prepare for the future of work. Many of us know the Importance of Reskilling Your Workforce including:
- Fill skills gaps
- provide growth opportunities
- increase engagement
- foster creativity, productivity, and morale
But before rolling out reskilling programs and initiatives, it’s necessary to know who needs them most and where to start.

ELE would like to recruit members to create a 5-week cohort to experience semi-synchronous collaborative learning. As learning professionals, we’re faced with a largely new landscape and increasing demand for our work, as organizations begin to see why learning is now a business imperative. The Leading L&D Program by Nomadic Learning explores these changes and offers tools for developing new strategies that align with what both employees and organizations need to thrive. In the Leading L&D program, learners will get hands-on, practical guidance and time-tested wisdom from peers, and will explore together:
- What is the benefit of learning in cohorts …

Themes:
- A learner’s ability to articulate their own learning struggle is a skill worth developing
- A learning leader’s ability to facilitate the discussion to articulate specific learning obstacles is essential
- Specificity about “the problem” mitigates the risk of a “poor solution” being implemented
The article presents a case example of insights from a student, then describes three observations about education/learning systems:
- Consider Content Complexity vs Pace of Change
- Be precise about assessing the defining the specific gap between expected performance and current performance
- Differentiate problems "learning" from problems with the "learning solution"
- Analyze the learning system (diagram included)

Broadskilling To Prepare Students For Future Work, Richard D. Busby
Broadskilling To Prepare Students For Future Work, Richard D. Busby
Publications & Research
Education professionals are concerned about quality of the education our youth receive. Corporations are concerned about having a prepared, skilled workforce as we face a sweeping digital transformation. Impact metrics vary, but there are clear themes about concerns of the emerging generation of workers (“will a robot take my job?”) and skills gaps. While corporate HR leans in on innovative recruiting, “upskilling” and “reskilling” initiatives, the opportunity for students is “Broadskilling” (i.e. career awareness, entrepreneurship, soft skills, adaptability, learning to learn, and befriending technology). Let’s engage in a practical discussion based on current data and share our experiences and stories.
