Feel like you're a job hopper? You're not alone! Turns out job hopping — and switching fields — are about to become the reality for most of us, says today's HRchat guest.
Joining Bill is education and workforce strategist Dr. Michelle Weise.
Michelle is the author of Long-Life Learning: Preparing for Jobs that Don’t Even Exist Yet (Wiley, 2021). Her book was awarded the 2021 Phillip E. Frandson Award for Literature by UPCEA (University Professional and Continuing Education Association), recognizing the author and publisher of an outstanding work of continuing higher education literature. Thinkers50 named her one of 30 management and leadership thinkers in the world to watch in 2021.
Michelle leads Rise & Design, an advisory service tailored for organizations seeking to design education and workforce strategies that will prepare working-age adults for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

* You suggest that "employers will have to begin viewing themselves as not just talent consumers, but talent creators." What do you mean by this?
* What advice would you give to leaders and HR managers about how to shape an effective L&D program that supports worker retention and advancement?
