MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

The demand for soft skills training is improved by the increased focus of employers on the upskilling of workers and graduates across different sectors. Employers focus on communication, leadership, teamwork, adaptability and problem-solving skills. Although only 35% of companies train soft skills, 63% of those who do report better performance in the work context, creating a meaningful addressable market.

As automation and artificial intelligence (AI) become commonplace within the workplace, careers must progress and innovate by creating, careers must think critically, and careers must show emotional intelligence inside a technology-driven environment. Organizations put resources into corporate training programs so they can increase productivity and engage staff, especially as they adopt e-learning and virtually train a global workforce.

Remote work (often in hybrid working models) is another driver for increased demand for soft skills training. For example, by 2030, 25% of all digital jobs will be performed remotely, which corresponds to a rise of 92 million jobs worldwide. Virtual communication, time management, and self-motivation are all valuable soft skills. Companies have begun to upskill employees to fill interpersonal skill gaps and to collaborate and connect in an increasingly distributed workplace because of the rising need for these soft skills.
