More and more experts are pointing to "lifelong learning", a new paradigm in education that means that we will have to train throughout our lives.
With the advent of technologies and the digital environment, one of the most recurrent topics and one that has gained the most focus in recent times is linked to the skills or abilities that professionals and managers must develop to adapt to the new scenario, through continuous learning. There are some reports that go much further by pointing out that in 2030 no less than 85% of the jobs that will exist have not yet been invented, which shows the lack of profiles that the market is demanding today and that are not filled.
More and more experts are pointing to “lifelong learning”, a new paradigm in education that means that we will have to train throughout our lives and not only during the traditional educational period.
Today, those who are in charge of a business must always be up to date, they must be aware of the trends that are expected in the near future and, especially, they have to promote that culture within their teams.
However, in addition to this condition, there are others that are essential such as those listed below:
- In addition to prioritizing continuous learning, especially by encouraging it in the company’s professionals, it is essential to identify different learning styles.
- Team of improvised teachers? If there is one thing that many companies are proposing, it is to seek collaboration between teams, so that the most advanced in the knowledge of certain tools help others to learn how to use them and apply them in their daily work.
- Encouraging curiosity is a very important element. Asking constant questions and letting your imagination run wild is much more valuable than intelligence.
- Not only should learning be encouraged, it is also essential that all the knowledge that has been previously acquired is taken into action and put into practice.
- Mistakes must be seen as opportunities. The practice of learning from mistakes is one of the best skills we must master. And it is that we usually learn more from failures than from successes and the most useful thing is to share those learnings with everyone around us.
