The urgency of reskilling
The future of work is already here, and it’s accelerating. McKinsey research shows that up to 10% of the U.S. workforce may need to change occupations by 2030, and nearly half of employees say they’re interested in reskilling opportunities. Yet enthusiasm alone isn’t enough: lack of time, financial constraints, and limited access to recognized credentials remain the biggest barriers.
AI as a catalyst for growth
Artificial intelligence is redefining how people learn. From identifying skills gaps in real time to curating personalized learning paths, AI ensures development is both timely and relevant. According to McKinsey, skills mismatches are the top obstacle for workers seeking new roles—AI-enabled learning directly addresses this by making training more adaptive, flexible, and impactful.
Humand Learning in action
This is where platforms like Humand come in. Through its Learning module, the company brings AI’s promise to life by providing:
- An always-on, interactive library of courses and resources.
- Centralized management to keep training consistent and accessible.
- Multiple formats—videos, quizzes, SCORM modules—to match diverse learning styles.
- Detailed progress tracking and reporting for HR leaders.
When paired with AI, Humand Learning helps organizations remove the very barriers McKinsey highlights: it saves time with microlearning, reduces costs through centralized delivery, and offers visible micro-credentials that motivate employees to keep growing.
From challenge to advantage
McKinsey emphasizes that workers across all demographics—especially younger, lower-income, and underrepresented groups—are eager to build new skills but often lack the support to do so. That’s the opportunity for forward-thinking organizations: to make learning accessible, meaningful, and embedded in everyday work.
Companies that embrace AI-driven learning and tools like Humand won’t just close the skills gap. They’ll boost retention, strengthen their employer brand, and most importantly, give people a clear, supported path to thrive in a changing world.
