SKILLS DEVELOPMENT IS ABOUT CHANGING LIVES

SPONSORED: Much is made of the need for skills development today, but companies need to approach it as more than just a ‘tick box’ exercise, if they are to truly impact unemployment and skills development, explains Ursula Fear, Learning & Development Executive at BlueSky.

“In the modern world, we can no longer separate learning from doing one’s job. The pandemic has amply demonstrated how the way we learned yesterday no longer applies to today. We need an integrated or symbiotic approach to training and work,” she says.

“This is why BlueSky no longer talks about specific job descriptions, but rather about skills. After all, while unemployment is high, there are also many digital organisations that cannot fill all the roles in their business. Salesforce is a case in point - demand is far higher than the number available to fill the positions. Much the same can be said for the other technologies we provide training on, namely Tableau, Vlocity and AWS. This is why we believe skills provision is the best way to stimulate the economy.”
