Industry Training
The demand for a skilled workforce is growing rapidly, but many organizations struggle to fill roles, citing a lack of preparation and the “right skills” among workers. At the same time, emerging jobs require adaptable, resilient professionals equipped with digital expertise, advanced leadership, critical thinking, and interpersonal abilities—skills proven to drive career success, health, and well-being. These skill gaps present challenges for employers and workers alike but also open the door to innovation, cross-collaboration with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and the creation of impactful learning solutions to bridge these gaps and reskill the workforce.
Below, you’ll find examples of projects we’ve collaborated on. Each showcases unique approaches to instructional design, training facilitation, and project management to address workforce development needs effectively.
