Here's "my story" article on education and mentorship: *Bridging the Skills Gap: My Journey to Empower Professionals* As a passionate advocate for education and employment, I've always believed that learning should lead to earning. Three years ago, I launched a mentorship program rooted in #Sinkalaism, focusing on re-skilling professionals based on industrial demand. Today, I'm proud to have empowered over 300 individuals to bridge the gap between education and employment. *The Problem: Education vs. Industrial Demand* Traditional education often prioritizes theoretical knowledge over practical skills, leaving graduates unprepared for the workforce. CEOs expect employees with skills tailored to their industry's needs, but the education system frequently falls short. This mismatch fuels unemployment, frustration, and untapped potential. *The Solution: Mentorship and Re-Skilling* My mentorship program addresses this gap by: 1. Identifying in-demand skills in various industries 2. Providing personalized guidance and training 3. Fostering connections between professionals and industry leaders By re-skilling professionals based on industrial demand, we're empowering them to meet CEOs' expectations and secure fulfilling careers. *The Impact: Over 300 Professionals Re-Skilled* In just three years, our program has: 1. Enhanced the skills of over 300 professionals 2. Fostered a community of supportive peers and mentors 3. Facilitated connections leading to job placements and career growth *Join the Movement: #Sinkalaism in Action* Let's revolutionize education and employment together! Share your own stories, and let's work towards a future where learning leads to earning. #MentorshipMatters #ReSkillRevolution #EducationForEmployment #Sinkalaism #IndustryDemand #CareerGrowth #JobReadiness #SkillsGap #UnemploymentSolutions #EmpowermentThroughEducation

It’s not news that people leave organizations because their training is poor. L&D has got such a huge opportunity. By understanding the gaps between current training and employee needs, we can build better strategies for 2025 and beyond. Feedback – even painful, hard to hear feedback – is information. We’ve all been there. We all know what it’s like to hear ‘could do better’ (I hear it from my piano teacher every week!) As life-long learners, we know that feedback is the best foundation for improvement, even when it’s hard to hear. If this is you right now, take the time to learn: - What your audience didn’t value - What they expected - What they wanted - What that gap was - What they’d love to learn Now you can fill that gap with purpose! Your colleagues will see that L&D is listening to them. This engagement creates a powerful foundation to build learning strategies that deliver: - The growth people need - Results your organization wants - Retention rates that prove your impact By transforming feedback into action, you're not just fixing problems – you're building a learning culture that drives success. Want to improve your L&D impact? Start by asking the right questions and truly listening to the answers. #TalentDevelopment #TalentManagement #LearningStrategy #EmployeeEngagement

Why L&D Makes Me Leap Out of Bed Every Morning There's something truly special about working in Learning and Development (L&D). It's not just about creating training programs (although that can be fun too!). It's about fostering growth, igniting potential, and witnessing the "aha!" moments that propel people and businesses forward. Here's what gets me fired up: The Spark of Discovery: There's immense satisfaction in seeing employees grasp new concepts, overcome challenges, and apply their newfound knowledge. It's like witnessing a light bulb go off – a testament to the power of learning. Building the Bridge: L&D bridges the gap between skills gaps and organisational goals. We identify areas for development, design targeted programs, and empower employees to excel in their roles. It's a strategic dance that fuels success. The Lifelong Learner Community: In L&D, we're all lifelong learners ourselves. The field is constantly evolving, with new technologies and methodologies emerging. There's always something new to explore, keeping the work dynamic and engaging. The Ripple Effect: The impact of L&D extends far beyond individual skill development. It fosters a culture of continuous learning, boosts employee engagement, and ultimately contributes to a thriving company culture. If you're passionate about helping others grow and making a real impact, then L&D might be your calling too! #learninganddevelopment #lifelonglearning #growthmindset #employeengagement

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.... These words resonate profoundly in the realm of training and professional development. Embracing a multifaceted approach to training is pivotal, especially considering that approximately 66% of the workforce comprises multimodal learners. Relying solely on training videos may fall short in meeting diverse learning styles. Instead, consider a more immersive method by pairing new hires with seasoned advisors who have already mastered their roles within the organization. This tailored approach to training provides a comprehensive learning experience based on the VARK model, catering to Visual, Auditory, Reading, and Kinesthetic learning styles. By involving employees in various ways of learning, this approach not only accommodates different preferences but also enhances their overall retention and understanding of the material. Investing in employees through such personalized training initiatives not only bridges skill gaps but also bolsters the organization itself. A McKinsey & Company Survey revealed an alarming statistic: nine out of ten executives and managers reported their organizations currently facing or expecting skill gaps within the next five years. This staggering 87% shortfall in developed skills underscores the urgency for strategic and comprehensive training approaches. Recognizing and addressing these gaps through involved, multifaceted training methods not only empowers but also fortifies the organization's ability to navigate a rapidly evolving professional landscape. By embracing varied learning styles and investing in employee growth, companies position themselves to thrive in an environment where adaptability and continuous learning are paramount. How have your past experiences influenced your current experiences? #CareerDevelopment #Leadership #Innovation #JobSearch #Networking #Sustainability

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞! In today's fast-paced world, the emphasis on outcomes often overshadows the importance of learning. We chase metrics, grades, promotions, and targets, sometimes at the expense of the deeper understanding and growth that comes from the learning process itself. However, shifting our focus from outcomes to learning can bring about more sustainable and meaningful success. Concentrating on learning means adapting a growth mindset, where challenges are seen as opportunities to develop skills and knowledge rather than mere hurdles to achieving a goal. This mindset encourages curiosity, resilience, and a love for discovery. When we prioritize learning, we allow ourselves to explore new ideas, experiment without fear of failure, and innovate. This approach fosters creativity and adaptability, essential qualities in today's ever-changing professional landscape. In the workplace, a learning-focused culture can lead to improved employee engagement and satisfaction. When employees feel that their development is valued, they are more likely to be motivated, productive, and loyal. This, in turn, benefits organizations by building a more skilled and committed workforce. Leaders play a crucial role in this by creating environments where continuous learning is encouraged and supported. Offering professional development opportunities, fostering open communication, and recognizing effort and improvement rather than just end results can significantly contribute to this culture. Moreover, focusing on learning over outcomes helps build long-term competence and confidence. It reduces the pressure and anxiety associated with meeting specific targets and allows individuals to progress at their own pace, leading to deeper understanding and retention of knowledge. This holistic development is crucial not only for individual careers but also for the collective advancement of industries and societies. In conclusion, while outcomes are undoubtedly important, they should not be the sole focus. By concentrating on learning, we invest in our long-term growth, innovation, and well-being. Let us nurture environments where learning is celebrated and outcomes are seen as milestones in a lifelong journey of growth and development. #entrepreneurmind #motivationatwork #skilldevelopment #learning #growth #career
