Description

Recent research by UpSkill America and the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) has found that: 

  • Only 25% of the HR leaders who took part in a December 2023 i4cp survey perceived workforce development as a strength of their organization.
  • Just 9% of more than 100 private and public company board directors surveyed indicated they were very confident in their company’s ability to effectively upskill its employees for the future.

Read the brief to learn more about next practices in upskilling, including internal training, apprenticeship, and tuition assistance that will help any organization to be more productive and resilient for the future.
