Due to the present trend of the constant churn in technology, employees worldwide have been sold the narrative of lifelong learning. Several management training sessions have also been held to hammer home the point. But now, a new trend of more far- reaching suitability has emerged. This is of lifelong employability. It has a greater human dimension to it. As part of this, training courses will need to be tailored to suit the inflection point in one’s career. Microlearning will also be part of it, involving fifteen to thirty- minute information bursts. The learning platforms will now make use of big data to glean insights about the requirements of individual learners. Competence is to be the buzzword, and not merely the degree od education. Greater investment is to be made on the training requirements of entry- level and frontline workers.
