Did you know that 90% of the global population will need new skills by 2030 and that 12 million career transitions will occur by then? We are in the midst of a skills-based revolution: Are you and your team ready for it? Whether they are business, people, or technical skills (hello, AI!), this is the time to invest in learning and development for your team.

How are you approaching upskilling and reskilling, from tech & AI to communication & DEI, in your workplace? During this webinar, this is your chance to hear directly from thought leaders and get your questions answered.
