We felt this quote to be most relevant as clients prepare to submit their various funding applications and we prepare for our role in the pre-assessments and training that holds relevance and the reporting thereof which follows.
“The shift of lifelong learning is absolutely essential. As the pace of technological change quickens, we need to be sure that employees are keeping up with the right skills to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. That applies to both technical and soft skills. There will be changes in both areas.”
