The Changing Face Of Training… But Is It The Real

Today’s advances in technology provide us with access to more methods to train and develop people than ever before. Learning opportunities include free tutorials on youtube, internet initiatives such as futurelearn.com, other websites, webinars, social media, mobile learning and virtual classrooms.

What about the classroom style of training? Is this antiquated or current?

- There is clearly an urgent need for training our workforce as the British Chambers of Commerce Workforce Survey 2014 reports:

- The BCC’s Workforce Survey highlights that 92% of businesses have identified a skills shortage among their workforce in at least one key area

- Most common skills shortages are leadership and management, planning and organisation, languages, computer literacy and creativity

- 80% of businesses surveyed have plans to invest in training. 39% plan to invest more than £500 per staff member

- Cost, staff availability and a lack of suitable courses remain key barriers for businesses looking to invest in training
