In today's rapidly changing job market, thriving requires more than just traditional skills; staying ahead demands continuous adaptation and the acquisition of new competencies.

As we navigate the rapid transformation of the global job market, the need for upskilling has never been more critical.

According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2023, 44% of jobs are predicted to undergo significant disruption within the next five years, primarily driven by advancements in AI and other emerging technologies. This shift underscores the urgency for both individuals and organizations to embrace upskilling as a strategic imperative and to invest in continuous learning and skill development.

In a 2023 survey, 94% of global executives rated Leadership as an essential priority for their organizations’ success. Yet only 25% believed that their Leadership culture is Fit-For Purpose to lead in today’s economy.

Among the top skills identified as being crucial to organizational resilience in the digital economy are leadership and social influence, creative thinking, self-awareness, and lifelong learning.

Why Now:

Upskilling extends beyond staying competitive. It’s about thriving in a future where adaptability, complex problem-solving, digital literacy, and ecosystem collaboration skills are paramount. Employees who proactively engage in upskilling are better positioned to seize emerging opportunities, navigate career transitions, and contribute to innovative solutions that drive business growth.
