Virtual Conference


JULY VIRTUAL: THE NEW STRATEGIES FOR UPSKILLING AND CAREER MOBILITY

Wednesday, July 10, 2024
6:00 pm CET - 10:35 pm CET
Register Now


TOPIC

LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT: HOW NEW STRATEGIES ARE CHANGING UPSKILLING AND CAREER
MOBILITY



As employers put more emphasis on skills as the currency for worker development,
they’re seeking new ways to measure them, fill in gaps, and predict the skills
needed in the future. How can these new tools, including AI, create better
matches between employees and projects? How can employers gain insights from the
data they gather? Why do real-world simulations help measure certain skills
better than traditional assessments? 

From Day One is a Recertification Provider for SHRM and HRCI. This session is
eligible for 3 credits from both organizations. The Activity IDs will be sent to
attendees after the conclusion of the session.
