An extremely intriguing aspect of the clear and well-documented overall market shift towards digital services and virtual structures, which we talked about last week, is the possibilities of digital training.
And though digital education is already part of the international agenda due to the operation of e-learning in many schools worldwide, but it is the education/ training of adult professionals that concerns us within the scope of this post.
The stimulus for the above is the presentation of respective data from LinkedIn that recently decided to go all in on e-learning with the stated goal of helping – through the digital training programs it offers – an audience that is traditionally attracted to the platform: those looking for a job.
The program is called opportunity.linkedin.com and the numbers it presents are truly impressive: Since June, 10,000,000 users of the platform from 231 countries around the world have attended training programs on skills that are considered to be in demand during the pandemic.
One realizes that the numbers are such that they not only enhance the validity of the projections for the overall shift to digital forms of communication and education, but also confirm that more and more aspects of the overall market play will systematically unfold online.
