Technology is advancing at a super-fast pace. At the same time, the attention spans of learners are waning. These two phenomena put together has led to a digital skills gap, and the U.S. economy is being hit hard in terms of loss in productivity. The only way to deal with this crisis is to come up with better ways to train your workforce so that they can learn faster and retain the knowledge better.
