Join the learning revolution.
In the era of digital transformation, training and education are critical: to survive, adapt, and thrive. The job market is rapidly changing, and the advent of self-driving cars sounds a death knell for 3.5 million jobs on in the US trucking industry alone. At the same time, XR, AI, the Internet of Things, and myriad other technologies create unprecedented demand for skilled workers, and new opportunities to achieve personal and professional growth. A new educational revolution is on the horizon.
The XR for Learning Podcast explores the future through the lens of training and education: how technologies are transforming the job landscape, the new expectations of the tech-augmented job market, and what’s needed to support this digital transformation. Julie Smithson and her guests will take you through rapidfire microlearning sessions and fascinating case studies from the leading edge.
