More than ever before, enterprises need to refresh the skills of their employees as technology changes job requirements. And, as technology makes some jobs obsolete and creates demand for different types of work, forward-looking companies will retrain employees rather than lay them off and hire anew. The advent of low cost, high quality online education and training makes possible strategies that serve both the enterprise and wider society.
