The reports the average half-life of job skills has dropped to under five years, with some tech sectors experiencing even shorter durations. This makes upskilling and reskilling essential for employees to stay relevant. Companies that neglect investing in talent may find themselves lagging as transformation and mobility accelerate. Additionally, a recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll, commissioned by Instructure, reinforces this urgency:
"As part of Instructure's future-ready ecosystem, Canvas Career is an employee-centric LMS that anticipates the learning needs of tomorrow's workforce," said Elizabeth DiRenzo Ezzi, product lead for Canvas Career at Instructure. "As professionals prepare for jobs that don't yet exist and increasingly change careers to explore new paths, we're committed to helping organizations deliver skills-aligned learning at scale, with the flexibility, support and personalization modern learners expect."
