Jordan Daily – Industries and Businesses today need to adapt to fast-changing trends in the global scenario. Being competitive is no longer decided on whether one is better than the nearest competitor; nor can it be based on the organization’s performance from the past.
Continuous learning, innovation and adaptability are attributes that organizations need to imbibe to keep pace with the dynamic nature of businesses worldwide. The evolving nature of work and the perennial increments in the expectations of stakeholders, necessitate the need for organizations and its employees to embrace a mindset of mastering new skills.
Although considered a “traditional” business, apparel manufacturing is not only people-intensive but is also now emerging as one of the fastest beneficiaries of technological advancements. This evolution results in a shift in focus from traditional “hard” skills to a repertoire of more complex, adaptive & creative skills. Also, given the irrelevance of traditional models of learning, where one acquires a fixed set of skills early in life and relies on it for their entire life.

This article would be incomplete without highlighting the employee’s outlook to training & reskilling, which more often stems from uncertainty and lack of motivation thereof. The most common apprehensions that cross the minds of employees are job-insecurity, shifting from a comfort-zone, skepticism about age being a barrier to learning – to name a few. Fear of failure (to learn new skills) often haunt employees who believe their own inability to compete with younger and more tech-savvy colleagues of theirs. Inability to see the link between reskilling and career growth being the other possible demotivator.
Ultimately, those who can navigate the shifting demands of the future will not only thrive in their careers, but will also contribute to building more resilient and innovative societies. The future of skill development is an exciting one, filled with opportunities to redefine how we all learn together, work together and grow together.
