We’re hearing it everywhere: today’s workers are learning every day, in a variety of ways, on and offline. In fact, more than 70 percent of workers surveyed say they learned something useful for their job from an article, a video or a book in the last 24 hours. Yet at the organization level, very little data is captured on what employees are learning in the course of doing their jobs. Regularly, measurement ends when the training program is over, and the details captured are minimal.

Editor's Notes
- JOB MARKET CHANGING – 40% ARE FREELANCERS. ON DEMAND ACCESS TO INFORMATION (YOUTUBE) – BUT NEEDS TO BE SOME PROOF OF KNOWLEDGE. Unbundling of Assessment from Content – you can learn anywhere, but how do we know what you know? Needs to be some ‘middle level’ between ‘any yutz’ that can produce content. Need for people to constantly return to learn, in order to survive job market – what brings people back to YOU is ENGAGEMENT – have you made the learning experience STICKY, so they’ll return in their working lives. Don’t be too quick to breeze thru value or benefit of CredSpark – where’s the ROI? Need to really talk about it. What’s in it for them to partner?
