Every January, there’s a surge in online course sign-ups as workers resolve to upskill or make career moves. Yet, for many, this initial commitment fades—studies show that 40% to 80% of online learners drop out.

The missed opportunity is significant. Among those who complete online courses, 72% report career benefits, from raises to new job opportunities.

Here’s the good news: cultivating a few key habits can make all the difference.

☑️ Focus on emerging skills by analyzing job trends and connecting with industry experts.

☑️ Choose courses with real-world applications led by trusted professionals and organizations

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.
