Meaningful work experience is vital to human capital development
Human capital is the potential within each individual. Human capital accounts for two-thirds of the average individual's wealth. Half of that value is linked to work experience.
The development continues after formal education, as people gain new skills and capabilities in the workplace. Therefore, organisations that prioritize learning and development can have a significant impact on whether or not an individual reaches their potential.

Changing roles can pay off, particularly when people make bold moves
Data shows that skills gained through experience account for 60 - 80% of lifetime earnings for those who move up but only 55% for those who stay in one position or drop down.

Individuals get a lift from early experience in effective organizations
Employers who pay attention to organizational health, training, and internal advancement seem to propel people forward. Their employees are more likely to be upwardly mobile.
However, 80% of job changes involved people moving to new employers. This points to a missed opportunity. Workers increasingly feel empowered to move to employers that will give opportunities to gain new skills and move up. This calls for a renewed emphasis on coaching and designing internal career paths.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
