Companies today have a renewed focus on skills as the basis for hiring and learning, and Project Manager and Instructional Designer Christina Calderwood couldn’t be happier!
Throughout her career as a learning and performance improvement professional, Christina has always focused on skills – and she’s not alone. Most experts in the field have taken a similar approach. Some of the basis for our work can be traced back to behavioral science researcher B.F. Skinner and the training done by the U.S. military during WWII. The well-known ADDIE model for instructional systems design goes back to the mid-70s. More recently Dr. Robert O. Brinkerhoff introduced impact mapping to describe the line of sight from business goals to specific skills and knowledge needed to achieve them.
Join Christina as she reviews a tried-and-true skills-based approach you can use to reskill and upskill your employees, helping them reach their full potential through the latest learning technologies and training options.
At the end of the session, you’ll be able to:
- Take a position about the current hype around skills
- Describe with clarity what we even mean when we say focus on skills
- Draft some learning objectives to guide your reskilling and upskilling of your team
- Create some simple learning journeys for your employees to follow
But There’s More!
