Bridging the Digital Skills Training Gap

Four of five “senior-level” editors who answered the recent ASBPE/Medill Survey on Digital Skills & Strategies had one day or less of corporate-sponsored digital training in 2009.

What are the implications? How can we overcome the problem?

Join ASBPE’s next webinar on Thursday, June 3, to learn about the research and about what you can do to diminish the gap.

The program:

What the research shows

  1. The training gap
  2. The leadership gap
  3. Which skills are necessary/most important.

What you can do about it

  1. How to sell your company on training.
  2. How can you get training at your organization with little help from management.
  3. Where to get training on your own.
  4. Mini case studies
