As the IT upskilling revolution gathers steam, the chief architects of training programmes and organisational development at multinational organisations — the Learning & Development (L&D) professionals, are flocking to Connect L&D. A dedicated research platform established by SpringPeople, the aim to bring together L&D leaders from the industry on a common platform and provide them with an opportunity to network, share knowledge, opinions, educate themselves and get a holistic view of challenges and opportunities. This would enable them to drive their organisation’s upskilling in a more effective way.
India’s 20,000 strong L&D community form the backbone of employee learning and development at companies, directly responsible for upskilling the IT workforce of about 4 million with estimated spends of $5 billion.
With the demand for skills training programmes in machine learning, artificial intelligence, blockchain, IoT and other emerging technologies at an all-time high, there is an urgent need for a common pan-India platform for such professionals to collaborate and design more effective training programs.
Launched in December last year, Connect L&D has seen participation from over 5,200+ L&D professionals responsible for employee training at big brands including Flipkart, Walmart, IBM, Wipro, Infosys, Samsung, to name a few. Users can attend free conclaves, seminars, and webinars, get access to knowledge bank and a platform to interact, network and share thoughts.
