𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: #1  Taking a technology-first approach Despite what your Learning Tech provider might say, a Skills-first approach is not delivered by buying a piece of technology. These tools are another level of complexity in the already busy workflow of your employees. Don't waste your time and money! 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Outcome-driven design: Work back from the outcome you want e.g., a great career development conversation between manager and team member. Understand this context and design a skills approach that meets the user and business needs. If the approach requires technology, that's great, but tech is the enabler, not the solution. #skillsfirst #skillsbasedorganisation #outcomedrivendesign #tech #technology

🌍 **Traits of the Most Successful Engineers in 2024** In today's ever-evolving tech landscape, certain traits set the most successful engineers apart. As a passionate student, I've been inspired by these professionals who have established a strong global presence. 🚀Here are the key traits that define their success in 2024:🚀 1. **Adaptability**: The ability to embrace change and thrive in new environments is essential. Whether it’s relocating for a job or working with diverse teams, flexibility is a cornerstone of success. 2. **Continuous Learning**: The tech field is always evolving. Staying relevant requires a commitment to lifelong learning and continuous skill development. The best engineers are always ahead of the curve, mastering new technologies and methodologies. 3. **Networking**: Building a strong professional network opens doors to global opportunities. Engaging with peers, mentors, and industry leaders not only broadens your horizons but also provides valuable insights and opportunities. 4. **Problem-Solving Skills**: In tech, the ability to solve complex problems efficiently is highly prized. Successful engineers are exceptional problem-solvers who tackle challenges with innovative solutions. If you're a fellow tech enthusiast or professional, let's connect and share our journeys.

The key to staying relevant is understanding that technical skills aren’t confined to traditional roles in IT or engineering. Increasingly, sectors such as healthcare, finance, and even the arts are integrating advanced technology, requiring professionals to upskill and reskill continually. This trend signals a shift from a fixed-skill mindset to a growth-oriented approach, where learning is lifelong. The demand isn’t merely for those who can write code or analyze data but for individuals who can blend technical prowess with creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability. #Stayrelevant #relevance #Upskill #reskill

Upskilling, reskilling, newskilling! Fashion comes and goes, but skills are critical to staying relevant in or entering the job market. There is a refreshing sense of urgency to refocus on skills and outcomes rather than pure knowledge dissemination in HEIs. eduALTO and Speechsquare founder, Dirk Hopfl, attended the QS HigherEd Summit to talk about the need for upskilling within Higher Education, upskilling to improve graduate outcomes, and the support that technology can provide.

As we have ongoing conversations about closing the #skillsgap in today’s workforce, let’s continue to acknowledge the importance of “soft skills”—or as the author of this Fast Company author likes to call them: skills. I agree that it may be time to do away with the division of skills into two distinct categories (“hard” for technical know-how; ”soft” for the more intangible qualities like #creativity) particularly when they are both crucial for the #futureofwork. https://lnkd.in/gXMSKkDi

A beautiful line caught my attention today. It's true that our job titles and responsibilities may change with the evolving demands of the industry. However, one thing that will always keep us valuable is experiential learning, especially in emerging technologies and experiences. It's a skillset that will always be in demand, no matter how much customer needs change. Keep learning and growing, and lets always stay in demand. #experientiallearning #emergingtechnologies #professionaldevelopment
