💼 60% Fall in Training Hours in Large US Companies
Training hours per employee in large US companies fluctuated sharply from 2017 to 2024, peaking in 2020 due to pandemic learning adoption before dropping nearly 60% in 2024. Federal policies like the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law aim to boost workforce development, yet large firms reduced per-learner spending to $398 from $481 in 2024. More AI and digital upskilling are needed as declining hours reveal gaps between corporate strategies.
🍃 >50% of AU’s Energy Specialists Lacked Green Experience
In 2022, 52% of energy specialist hires in Australia had no prior green experience, followed by energy managers at 26% and environmental technicians at 24%. This reflects strong entry opportunities in the green workforce. Government initiatives like the National Skills Agreement, Net Zero Plan, and New Energy Apprenticeships Program support this transition by funding TAFE courses and upskilling workers to meet the growing demand for clean energy and environmental roles.
🤖 >70% of AI Jobs in Europe Required Professionals
In 2023, 73% of AI-related job postings targeted professionals, with far lower demand for managers and technicians with 9% and 8%, respectively. This reflects the growing need for advanced AI skills in high-skill roles. Initiatives like the EU’s Pact for Skills, the UK’s National AI Strategy support this shift by promoting upskilling, digital education, and workforce development to prepare professionals for evolving AI-driven labor market demands.
