The ATD BEST Awards: Why Apply and Tips for Your Application

Since ATD last looked at skills gaps in 2018, organizations and their talent development teams have faced enormous and complex challenges and changes. This webinar focuses on what talent development professionals in ATD’s survey say about current and future skills gaps in their organizations and supplements that research with additional information pulled from news articles, reports, and other sources. We will also look at recommendations for closing skills gaps from ATD’s public policy committee. The goal is to help talent development professionals locate critical skills gaps and provide a road map for closing those gaps strategically.

ATD Research: Bridging the Skills Gap

According to a Bersin by Deloitte report, the typical employee devotes only about 1% of his time to professional development. What this means is that in a 40-hour work week, we devote less than 24 minutes to anything resembling learning. This is the small space of time we must work with, and this is where microlearning has your back.
Use Microlearning as Your Training Disrupter
Using microlearning as performance support and learning reinforcement to scaffold learning after a training event takes place, helps strengthen the learning connections. Microlearning can help you take training that is stuck in the mud and disrupt the training process—in a good way.
What this Means for L&D
Today's modern workforce has grown up with knowledge at their fingertips, and the need for structured training is diminishing. This rapid learning demand requires L&D to become more flexible and sharply focused on delivering short bursts of right-sized scaffolded support. It's the smart L&D practitioner who will take advantage of microlearning to disrupt learning in their organizations.
Join our webinar on May 14 where we will: 

Identify the traits of effective microlearning content.
Discover how to deconstruct current macro content into micro-sized nuggets.
Debunk microlearning myths.
Share examples of microlearning tools and application.
