Shadow learning, often referred as the process of learning that happens outside formal education systems, has emerged as a popular new approach to learning. According to a recent report by Adobe, YouTube is the most popular for learning by millennials and GenZ.
However, this type of learning comes with many pitfalls including:
1. Unstructured curriculum: This can create a lack of building cohesive knowledge or skills.
2. Quality Assurance: Information online may have unreliable or inaccurate content.
3. Lack of industry recognition: Skills gained through shadow learning are often not recognized by employers or institutions unless supported by verified providers
4. Limited Peer Interaction: Limited opportunities for collaboration and networking.
That's why we are setting out to change the way learning, connections and opportunity happen.
The New Collar Talent Community addresses all the pitfalls of shadow learning while giving individuals curated and structured learning content and credentials, vetted by industry professionals and peer and professional support.
