University of Phoenix Professional Development announces that it
will lead a Chief Learning Officer (CLO) webinar for workplace
leaders on navigating a skills-based transition in a hybrid
approach that maximizes talent potential and organizational
agility. The webinar, “Balancing Titles and Skills: Exploring a
Hybrid Approach to Skills-Based Structures,” features a panel of
learning and development leaders providing insights on Tuesday, May
14, 2024, at 2:00pm ET. Expert panelists include Savern Varnardo,
corporate director of Learning and Development at Primoris Services
Corporation, a leading specialty contractor in critical
infrastructure services across the utility, energy and renewables
markets in the US and Canada, Captain Timothy Hammond, Chief of
Training/Deputy Chief Learning Officer at the U.S. Coast Guard
Force Readiness Command, and Barbara Schifano, senior director,
Learning and Development at University of Phoenix. Suzanne Bay,
vice president, Strategy, at University of Phoenix will moderate
the panel discussion.
According to University of Phoenix Career Institute® 2023 Career
Optimism Index® study, 70% of Americans say if their company gave
them more opportunities to apply new skills, they would be more
likely to stay throughout their career. A separate study by
Deloitte found that 77% of business executive respondents agree
their organization should help their workers become more employable
with relevant skills.
“The workforce landscape is rapidly evolving, demanding new
skills for an effective workforce,” states Bay. “Many organizations
are considering skills-based hiring to stay competitive and attract
diverse talent. However, transitioning to this approach involves
complex changes across various systems and stakeholders. Join us to
explore the challenges and strategies to start the transition to
skills-based hiring.”
This webinar is designed to benefit business operations by
exploring a journey of traditional hierarchical structures and
skills-based frameworks and discovering what a transition to a
hybrid approach might look like. The panel discussion will touch on
the benefits — and challenges — of a skills-based framework, as
well as the intricacies of pursuing a hybrid environment that
emphasizes both skills and titles. Attendees will have the
opportunity to network with peers and exchange ideas, fostering
collaboration and learning within the professional community.
In the webinar, workplace leadership learners will:
- Receive practical guidance and actionable steps for navigating
a transition to a hybrid approach that maximizes talent potential
and organizational agility.
- Learn key considerations and steps involved in a hybrid
approach of job titles and skills.
- Learn about the role of L&D professionals as catalysts for
implementing and sustaining a skills-based structure.
