The CIPD’s Best to good practice work and The future of talent in Malaysia 2035 report both highlight education as a key driver influencing future talent quality and quantity. Global education standards are improving and there's greater recognition and prioritisation of continued development and lifelong learning. We’ve also witnessed a rise in alternative, technology-enabled learning, including open universities, peer-to-peer learning platforms and bitesize, ‘on the go’ learning frameworks. However, talent gaps still exist and balancing business performance needs and learning and development remains a challenge for L&D practitioners.
