Bridging the Gap: Four Takeaways for L&D from Learning 2019
/in Uncategorized Featured on Homepage /Last week, at the Learning 2019 conference in Orlando, Florida, host Richard Culatta, CEO of ISTE and advisor at the Masie Center, said something that resonated in that moment, and continues to resonate today. He said that, in the face of the transformative power of technology, L&D teams are “the bridge that connects our current workforce to our future workforce.” Why?
