What You Need to Know about the State of Skills in 2021 (On Demand)
“I need to tell you something about all your skills. As of right now, they mean precisely #!*%.” - Men In Black, Agent K (as played by Tommy Lee Jones)
The sci-fi movie may have got it right, after all. Upskilling your workforce is no longer an option, but a matter of survival. Those who act fast have a game-changing opportunity to get ahead of the competition.
Massive workforce shifts in 2020 have forced countless organisations to rethink how work gets done. A key piece of that is supporting workers in keeping their skills current, identifying the ones at-risk of becoming endangered, or worse, extinct – and building new ones.
If you’re wondering what skills are critical to you and your team in 2021, this 60-minute webinar will help you focus your energy and investment on the most urgent skills in your industry and country.
We will discuss the findings of Degreed’s State of Skills 2021 report, and learn from industry practitioners on their L&D best practices. You can look forward to the following key takeaways:
How the supply and demand for skills are shifting
Identify where skills are most at-risk of becoming endangered or obsolete
Actions you can take to build a future-fit workforce
