ATD AFRICA LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE
Future-proofing your workforce to be ready for what’s next

The pandemic had an immense impact on learning and talent development and businesses as a whole. The unexpected shift to remote work and increased digitalisation caused employee skill set requirements to change. As a result, organisations are experiencing skills gaps within their workforces.
According to a McKinsey & Company survey, 87 percent of organisations are experiencing skills gaps currently or expect them within the next five years. To overcome these skills gaps, organisations continue to reskill and upskill their workforces. Talent and learning professionals are responsible for redesigning the global workforce to address the new demands of the world.
To address the changes and needs of the future, this respected industry event developed by ATD and KR provides a platform for learning and talent development professionals to connect, collaborate, and stay up to date with talent development trends and best practices. This event will bring together thought leaders, innovators, and practitioners to assist in solving some of today’s challenges as we learn from one another.
