Professional Development Basics

Is your organization kicking off or increasing spend on upskilling talent with professional development?

You’re not alone. Organizations spend about $1,075 per employee on learning & development, and in the past year, spending on external training products and services increased 32.5%.

Having said that, there was a time when personal and professional development was provided and managed by your employer.

You went on a few courses chosen by your company, said yes when you were offered the chance to take on a new project and waited until the time was right to move up or move on. But it’s not like that anymore.

These days, you are responsible for your personal and professional development and you need to look for your own opportunities as well.
