The Evolution of Corporate Training

Corporate training has evolved significantly from a focus on e-learning and digital infrastructures to a need for comprehensive skills development that aligns with broader business goals. Over the past two decades, training managers prioritized systems like learning and content management systems to ensure employees had access to necessary education. However, this approach has become commoditized and insufficient in the face of rapidly changing industries and workforce needs. Companies are increasingly required to adapt their training to not only include technical skills but also to prepare employees for adjacent domains, reflecting the need for continuous growth and innovation.
