Launching into the Next Stage of Your Career
A college degree is still the price of admission in the workplace, but it might as well come with an expiration date. HR Magazine writes that companies investing at least $1,500 in training per employee per year unlock an average profit margin increase of 24 percent, and the Pew Research Center reveals that 87 percent of employees think training is critical if they want to remain competitive in the future.
The stats don’t lie. In order to survive – and thrive – in today’s business environment, companies must constantly change and adapt. New developments are happening at breakneck speed, and organizations need a workforce that’s continuously improving in order to keep up.
Unfortunately, not every employer has gotten the memo, and plenty forgo employee training to try and cut costs in the short term. The good news? There are plenty of resources (like Launch Compass) that allow you to take your training into your own hands. As Bill Gates puts it, “There’s never been a better time to be alive if you’re curious.”
When you take the initiative to hone current skills and learn new ones, you reap big benefits. Besides showing up to a job interview or a new role armed with additional capabilities, you demonstrate to existing or potential employers that you have the drive and ambition they’re looking for in their organizations. Join Launch Compass and kickstart your career today.
