Everlasting Upskilling: put employees on the Wonkavator to success w/ Lori Niles-Hofmann (NilesNolan)
Show Notes

Do you remember the end of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the original, not the remake)? Charlie, Grandpa Joe and Willy Wonka board the Great Glass Wonkavator. It’s not an elevator because “an elevator can only go up and down, but the Wonkavator can go sideways and slantways and longways and backways … and any other ways you can think of …”

A flying elevator isn’t just a fun way to end a movie—it’s also the perfect metaphor for career development in today's workplace!

Join Lori Niles-Hofmann (Senior EdTech Transformation Strategist at NilesNolen) and JD Dillon as they break down the concept of the skill-based organization. They explain why career paths are an outdated notion and how continuous upskilling fosters organizational agility, staves off disruption and empowers workers to seize new opportunities. This is a can’t-miss episode for anyone building a skill-based talent strategy!
