Webinar Outline

Industries worldwide are experiencing unprecedented change as digital transformation and new economic realities shake up the world of work. For sectors like financial services and technology, which rely on skilled employees, finding the right people is a growing challenge – and likely to become even more difficult in the future.

Increasingly, employers are realizing they cannot rely on the global labor market to produce the workers they need. Instead, they must nurture internal talent, identifying those with potential and providing them with the training they need to thrive. As workplaces transform, companies must find innovative ways to implement rapid and effective upskilling plans and empower employees to engage in continuous learning.

This recorded webinar features Claire Tunley (Chief Executive of the Financial Services Skills Commission) and Tanuj Kapilashrami (Group Head of HR at Standard Chartered Bank). In this session, they explored the challenges facing skills-intensive industries and the part digital learning technologies can play in bridging the gap between today’s workers and tomorrow’s needs.
