Create Leaders, Capable Managers and Effective Employees

Our employment landscape is evolving rapidly, triggered by technological breakthroughs. Agencies must anticipate and prepare for future skills requirements if they are to seize opportunities presented by these trends—and to minimize undesirable repercussions. To prevent a worst-case scenario that include talent shortages, mass underemployment, and a growing gender gap — reskilling and upskilling current and future government employees is critical.

Skills-based training is the ONLY solution for demands that are already changing the workforce environment. What skills are important to local and federal agencies? Here are a few, according to the National Career Development Association (NCDA):

Ability Platform is the solution for local and federal government agencies, with our award-winning, stellar online libraries. Our Learning content is presented as micro-learning modules, 10-minutes or less video lessons focused on improving skills. With libraries of 2500+ videos, organized into 100+ Learning Paths (collections of related lessons put together by subject matter experts), we help you bridge the coming skills gap.
