360Learning Partners with Skill Collective To Lead The Skill-Based Learning Movement

Job-based organizations are facing a serious challenge. Rapid technological advancements and the AI race are widening skills gaps at an unprecedented rate, making it difficult for businesses with top-down hierarchy to catch up without spending countless resources or restructuring their entire workforce. 

The shortening shelf-life of skills means that businesses can't simply hire their way out of skills shortages like before. To stay in the game, they need to upskill their existing talent.

But at the rate technology is evolving, it’s impossible to manually upskill workforces at scale.

What does this mean for L&D teams? Moving from role-based workforce development to skills-based learning is no longer a matter of if, but when and how. Today, AI solutions and collaborative learning have a crucial role to play in preparing for and executing a successful shift to becoming a skills-based organization.

But not everybody is ready to make the jump to skills-based L&D at this stage. Simply identifying skills gaps is not enough, organizations need to be able bridge them effectively. 

An effective transition requires not just new processes, but a deeper understanding of where your L&D strategy stands now, and what your talent needs to succeed tomorrow.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Skill Collective, to help client organizations streamline this transition and achieve truly impactful skills-based L&D. Our shared mission is to:

• Make sure that organizations are fully prepared and optimized for this transition before launching a skill-first approach across the entire organization.
• In doing so, streamline the adoption and maximize the value of our Skills by 360Learning solution.

Why are we partnering with Skill Collective?

As skills-based learning gains traction, organizations have shifted from philosophical discussions to practical implementation. 

Yet many are still making critical decisions without aligning with the actual issues the business needs to solve, resulting in wasted resources, fragmented ecosystems, and inconsistent employee experiences.
