Last month in Disrupting the Classroom, we took a look at a groundbreaking new app helping UK students to revolutionise the way they timetable their study. This week, we’re moving into the world of work and exploring the innovative new learning platform that is helping teams to bridge the gap between theoretical skills learned in degrees and the real-world expertise needed in the workplace: Paddl.
The Problem: How can employees keep their skills up to date with the ever-changing technical landscape?
The pace of technological change today in the workplace is at an all-time high. We read every day how AI and applications like Chat GPT are putting many people’s jobs at risk. In this context, employees need to stay one step ahead of technological change, ensuring that they have the skills and knowledge to be irreplaceable. But constantly upskilling is easier said than done.
How does Paddl help?
Paddl seeks to provide a neat, easy-to-navigate solution to this problem by offering a corporate education platform that focuses on key innovation and digital disruption skills. By combining live training programs, content libraries, and experience analytics, Paddl helps teams to ensure they are developing in 6 key areas: innovation, technology, sustainability, leadership, collaboration and wellbeing. This platform gives team leaders the ability to build a workspace that works with their business' priorities, helping them to upskill their team in areas that are relevant. Paddl also uses leaderboards, badges, XP points and credentials to increase motivation and insight into development.
