Overview:

The workforce is changing at a rapid pace and the skills needed to stay relevant and competitive is growing.

Learn from the leader of the international learning and development organization, The Pathwayz Group, as she shares insights from her team about the trends of learning design, learner engagement/delivery, and talent development strategies. Amber Vanderburg has worked in talent development for more than a decade, and this fast-paced, action-focused session challenges outdated approaches to learning, reinforces effective learning methods, and introduces innovative learning strategies.

Built off of years of experience and partnerships with some of the largest global enterprises in the world, this session will be broken up into two major sections. The first section will look at the latest trends in the workforce. I’ll identify the upcoming skills, knowledge, and abilities that have been identified as the most important and high priority in the future workforce. In addition to KSAs, this will also break down growing industries, professions, and markets. I’ll go one step further and look at the professions, skills, and markets that are in decline and share some insights into how those skills are being parlayed into the evolving workplace. With this data, you should have a clearer idea about the skills and knowledge that may be priority for you in the upcoming years.

I’ll briefly address skills, safety, compliance, knowledge, onboarding, and organizational training and how the various topics of training may be designed for deployment in your organization.

Then, I’ll share various forms of delivery - 60 different learning methods and strategies. I’ll share how you can more strategically build a learning journey for your team members. I’ll take a high level, one year learning journey as an example and share how you can design for a more effective learning journey with more focused and catered learning objectives. I’ll then move into the single learning lesson and examine how you can design learning experiences with quicker iterations for clearer action steps and more sticky learning.

At the end of this session, you should have a clearer idea about the market trends and forecasts in the future of workplace skill needs and a plan to better design learning to effectively upskill your team for success.
