Reskilling and Upskilling Strategy for the Future of Work

Automation, artificial intelligence and shifting customer expectations are reshaping which skills African organisations need. This programme equips HR and learning teams to forecast skill gaps, build practical reskilling pathways and redeploy people into new roles instead of losing institutional knowledge. Delegates work with examples from banking, mining and telecommunications employers across the continent.

What you will be able to do

  • Map current and future skill demand against your organisation strategy.
  • Identify roles at risk of automation and roles that will grow.
  • Design reskilling and upskilling pathways that redeploy existing staff.
  • Build a business case for a workforce transformation investment.
  • Measure the return on learning through productivity and retention data.
  • Engage line managers and unions in a skills transition conversation.
