Designing and implementing adult learning programs which ensures high adoption and success rates requires a focused mindset which aligns with the mind of an adult learner. Adult learners prefer self directed learning methods which give them specific outcomes and are usually trying to build on their existing knowledge.
Investment from employers and workforce boards in adult learning programs will help build a highly motivated workforce, combat issues rising from the demographic cliff, and such investments can be used to constantly upskill and reskill the workforce which will result in higher employee satisfaction and retention.
Transfr solutions for adult learners are crafted meticulously by industry experts who ensure learners feel relevant with the skills training, and feel motivated to pave a career path. Transfr solutions are application oriented which allows adult learners to quickly shift the skills into a practical work environment and build competencies.
