Building the skills, knowledge, and adaptability today's workforce needs — and preparing the next generation of talent for what comes next.
Training and development are essential components of workforce readiness, helping employees build the skills, knowledge, and adaptability needed to succeed in today's workplace and prepare for tomorrow's opportunities.
Continuous learning keeps employees invested and connected to their work.
Investing in people's growth keeps talent in the organization longer.
Development today cultivates the leadership a business will need tomorrow.
This focus is shared by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) at the national, state, and local levels. SHRM, SHRM Oklahoma, and local SHRM chapters recognize that training and development are critical to building a skilled, resilient workforce and cultivating the talent needed to meet the evolving demands of business and industry.
SHRM further supports workforce readiness through professional certification programs, educational resources, and initiatives that promote diversity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace. By encouraging professional development, advancing HR knowledge, and fostering workplaces where individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, these collective efforts help organizations build informed, skilled, and adaptable workforces.
Certifications, Oklahoma education programs, and SHRM initiatives that support training and development.
Together, we can strengthen today's workforce while preparing the next generation of talent for future success.
