Study: L&D spending soars in 2013
Clomedia
Research and advisory firm Bersin by Deloitte announced new research showing that overall spending on training increased 15 percent to $1,169 per learner on average in 2013. The rise in training spending is a signal that businesses are responding to a growing skills gap as the economy recovers by investing more in employee development.
Professional development: Who's in control?
IDM Marketing Blog
Nearly 9 out of 10 marketers say there are barriers to professional development in their organizations, according to the brand new Marketing Week/IDM training survey 2014. This is shocking. Even more so when we hear that three quarters of the decisions made about professional development are made without any involvement from higher management. It suggests that employers still appear to regard training as an individual responsibility, not an organizational one. There is little strategic planning behind employee development and no clear development paths for employees. And when you factor in that only 34 percent of marketers say they got to their current position by being promoted internally, it looks like there's also still a tendency to fill organizational skills gaps from outside rather than by train up existing talent.
The future of learning environments: An issue that concerns the students
Core77
Moa Dickmark, a contributor for Core77, writes: "What do I believe will be the future for education and education facilities? Einstein, who said something to the effect of 'If you can't explain the problem simply, you don't understand it well enough,' would not be happy with my answer. The question seems so simple, but the answer, as most of you probably have noticed, is oh-so complex. More and more, we see that newly designed schools around the globe is that the majority of architects rely on the teachers and the school administrators' feedback regarding their work environment as the basis of their designs. Like most of you, I agree that this is an important part of developing a more multi-faceted school then what we have seen in the past."
The future of workforce learning
Training Industry
As an increasing number of tech-savvy Millennials enter the workforce and mobile devices such as the iPad go mainstream; the speed and flexibility of mobile training is imperative to enhancing the learning experience and productivity of the modern workforce. This is why in order to maximize training programs, companies are turning to mobile based training solutions to cut costs, increase employee satisfaction, and save time.
