Key Takeaways:
- myTrailhead allows customized training content and incorporates useful motivational and performance testing tools.
- myTrialhead could be enhanced by incorporating scientifically-validated best practices in training, which suggest that hard skills are best trained by a cognitive skill learning system in the brain and soft skills are best trained by a behavioral skill learning system in the brain
- In its current implementation, myTrailhead is more nearly optimized for hard skill training, but is sub-optimal for soft skills training
Technology is progressing at an accelerating rate. Jobs are constantly being updated or redefined by, and with the help of technology. Employees are constantly being asked to learn new skills whether in the same job or in a new position. Constant training is the rule, not the exception, and training platforms must be built with this in mind.
