SkillPath Hosts Free Training for Employers to Navigate Skills Gaps

Companies with fast-changing business demands are scrambling to futureproof their workforce. To help employers overcome the need for new skills, as well as be more agile and competitive, SkillPath is offering a free, one-hour virtual training at 12 pm Eastern on July 20 to prepare employees for the future of work.

The training program, Reskilling & Upskilling Employees for a Competitive Edge, will focus on different strategies employers can take to upgrade the skills of their current workforce and move their companies forward.

Discussion topics will include how to:

Assess the talents and abilities your employees have today
Align your talent for business needs in the next 5 to 10 years
Ensure employees buy in to upskilling or reskilling initiatives
Set goals that are challenging but 100% attainable
Identify the learning format most suitable for your employees
Weigh the benefits of in-house training vs. an external training provider

“So many businesses are experiencing change, and the past couple years have shown us how we can be more flexible,” said Michele Markey, CEO of SkillPath. “When we take the time to map out the skills we need and set the expectation that our existing teams keep learning, great things can happen. We build engagement and loyalty. We save money. And we capitalize on the irreplaceable knowledge of our existing workers. Lifelong learning is for everyone.”
