The GAN Chair Handover Ceremony provided us a unique opportunity to speak with three CEOs of leading multinational companies at an urgent time in history when the gap between the skills people have and the skills business needs is widening, driven by mega trends including technology, demographics, globalization and climate change. How can we change mindsets?  What role does work-based learning play as an approach to bridge the skills gap? What is the role of work-based learning for business?
At the Accenture Future Camp in Geneva, Manon Bosma, Managing Director, Talent and Organisation, Accenture moderated the discussion with Alain Dehaze, (outgoing GAN Chair, CEO, The Adecco Group), Laurent Freixe (incoming GAN Chair, Executive Vice President, CEO Zone Americas, Nestlé) and Thomas Meyer, (GAN Board Member, CEO Accenture Austria, Switzerland, Germany).

SkillingNow Podcast - Episode 4 - What is the role of work-based learning for business?

Welcome to this addition of GAN’s SkillingNow podcast “Does work-based learning really pay off?” This podcast is taking place now at the SHRM 2019 Annual Conference.
Together with our panelists – Jillian Walsh, Zurich insurance; Marina Levin, Randstad Argentina; Linda Hogan, Rolls Royce; Paul Champion, TranzEd, we’ll unpack this question and look at how companies measure the return on investment (ROI) of work-based learning approaches, such as apprenticeships. We’ll also explore whether work-based learning increases workforce diversity and enables companies to tap into hidden talent pools.

The Global Apprenticeship Network (GAN) is a business-driven, multi-sector alliance that promotes work-based learning, including apprenticeship, as a way to overcome skills mismatch and achieve a Future of Work that provides decent and sustainable work opportunities for all. We do this by encouraging businesses to implement work-based learning programs and advocating to governments for an enabling policy environment. We believe that by aligning skills with labour market demands, businesses, people and communities will be empowered to thrive in a world of transformation.
