Beyond the Skill Gap: Understanding and Measuring the Full Spectrum of Skill Proficiency
Most upskilling strategies focus on closing the “skill gap,” but that’s only part of the picture. The real challenge is measuring and building for skill proficiency that creates sustainable competitive advantage. It's not just about whether someone has a skill, but how well they can apply it on the job. In this webinar, we’ll explore why skill proficiency is a spectrum, how organizations can better measure and support it, and what it takes to build programs that develop value-driving talent across every level from foundational to advanced.
