Personalized Career Pathing
As more workers move into the gig economy, they will need to self-direct their learning and decide what knowledge they’re missing, where to acquire it, and how to fit learning into daily routines. Beyond personalized learning, they’ll need personalized career pathing.
The Shifting Nature Of Education
The demand grows for a new learning ecosystem that offers cheaper and more accessible learning when compared to the traditional educational programs.
Workers are demanding “plug and play” platforms that enable access to smaller bites of just-in-time education throughout their careers.
The Modern Workplace
The workplace is changing at an alarming pace, and so do the skills needed to keep up in most jobs. Also, the emergence of the gig economy is reshaping the traditional employer-employee relationship as more contractors fill roles once reserved for full-time workers.
It’s key for employees to get training and develop new skills throughout their work life in order to keep up with changes in the workplace.

Education vs training
Until two decades ago, the general goal of colleges was for academic pursuits and teaching individuals to become more well-rounded. The general thought was that colleges were not vocational institutions.
Now, and possibly in the future, colleges will have to focus more on training and change their curriculum to meet the demands of employers.
Alternatives
A four-year college education remains the best choice for those who can get admitted to a selective university. But for everyone else, an alternative path might be the best way to go.
In the future, one training path will be company-sponsored apprenticeship programs to cover the skills missing between the secondary system and what employers are looking for.

New ways to learn, using various online tools, allows people to upgrade and refresh their skills. There are peer-to-peer learning platforms where experts are teaching how to attain mastery at specific skill-sets.
Shorten the Learning Times
Spending years in the classroom to learn a subject is keeping the individual unproductive.
