Last week, BenchPrep exhibited and attended The eLearning Guild’s Learning Solutions Conference and Expo 2018. Three full days of learning, about learning, surrounded by other learners! What more could we ask for?
Beatrice Conley, Enterprise Solutions Manager at BenchPrep, presented at Learning Solutions Conference & Expo 2018. Today, it’s not about if technology-based learning should be part of your learning and development strategy, but more about which technology will effectively enable your organization to meet your learning goals and solve any problems at hand. But taking a step back, are you thinking about these goals and challenges from both the learner and your organization’s perspectives?
Did you know learning a new skill ranks as the #1 career goal in 2018? Professionals view learning as a top priority, and they also have expectations for how that learning is delivered. Digital, on-demand, and personalized learning are crucial to engaging today’s professional learners.
The learner experience is the most essential aspect of learning and BenchPrep has already observed how Learning Management Systems (LMS) have quickly become obsolete. We predict the LMS as it exists now will be less relevant as learners crave personalization, engaging content, and improved outcomes.
BenchPrep is thrilled to announce our partnership with ProLiteracy, the largest adult literacy and basic education nonprofit organization in the nation. ProLiteracy will utilize our comprehensive learner success platform to help increase adult literacy.
High school counselors often advise students to attend college, after high school, encouraging them to believe it’s the only way to land a good job and start a career. Parents usually repeat the counselors advice and encourage their kids to pursue a college degree. 40 percent of students who attend college, dropout and never graduate, yet, there are a whole list of jobs out there where they can still be successful. BenchPrep partners with organizations like ACT WorkKeys® to help folks looking to build essential career-relevant skills, without necessarily obtaining a college degree in that field.
