Wake Up! Employees' Skills Gaps Need Attention!

Lifelong learning advocate and Degreed Co-founder David Blake joins Christine Tao of Sounding Board to talk about how learning will shift amidst the COVID-19 crisis.

How companies focus on developing these skills will have a big impact on their ability to navigate out of crisis.
