Today’s work landscape is rapidly evolving, with accelerated demand for digital and data skills. In fact, the World Economic Forum predicts that almost 50% of all employees may need reskilling by 2025.
Westpac Group recognised this growing need and sought to tackle the challenge of upskilling their people through a company-wide Data and Digital Capability Uplift Program, a visionary initiative shaping a digital-first future across the organisation.
The goal was ambitious; empower thousands of employees across six countries with contemporary digital and data competencies in an interactive, self-paced, blended learning journey, with multiple delivery formats to ensure flexibility, inclusivity, and accessibility in the flow of work.
"Westpac’s purpose is creating better futures together for all our people, customers and communities. Our Data and Digital Capability Uplift Program highlights Westpac's commitment to ensuring our people have the skills they need now and into the future."
This successful collaboration is helping to transform Westpac’s workforce into a future-ready cohort equipped with cutting-edge data and digital skills and provides a contemporary format for large corporate and public sector organisations to develop high impact learning experiences which deliver genuine participant, business and customer outcomes.
