Guild, a pioneer in opportunity creation for America’s workforce, unveils a groundbreaking learning bundle aimed at tackling the durable skills gap prevalent in the frontline workforce. This first-of-its-kind initiative reflects Guild’s commitment to providing accessible and impactful learning opportunities to empower employees.
- Understanding the Durable Skills Gap:
- Durable skills, also known as “soft skills,” such as collaboration and problem-solving, are increasingly valued by executives, surpassing the importance of AI skills.
- Despite the growing demand for these skills, organizations have limited training efforts for frontline workers, creating a significant gap in skill development.
- Curating Innovative Learning Programs:
- Guild, leveraging its network of leading employers and learning institutions, identifies the need for frontline-focused educational programs.
- Traditional training programs often lack relevance for frontline workers, emphasizing theoretical concepts and failing to address real-time challenges effectively.
- Empowering Frontline Workers:
- Guild’s new suite of learning programs from renowned partners Pathstream, Springboard, and the University of Denver targets critical durable skills, including critical thinking and communication essentials.
- Designed for accessibility and flexibility, each program can be completed in four months or less and requires no prior college experience. Learners can access content via cell phones and receive 1:1 mentorship for real-world application.
- Industry Recognition and Adoption:
- Guild’s Employer Partners, including Hilton, recognize the importance of foundational skills in driving individual and organizational success.
- This innovative learning bundle marks another milestone in Guild’s commitment to supporting workforce transformation and empowering employees for future career mobility.
