As technology rapidly evolves, 87% of employers currently face significant skill gaps within their teams, or expect to in the next few years, reports McKinsey & Company. With increasing skill shortages, more than half of executives surveyed share the consensus that building skills, such as reskilling existing employees, is the best way to close the capability gap.
One of this era’s most promising training methods to rapidly upskill at a greater scale is Immersive Learning solutions, allowing simultaneous access to expert-led virtual training scenarios for thousands of employees around the world, across a growing array of industries, including healthcare. In contrast, traditional training methods, limited in scale and access, disallow the repeat and collaborative practice needed by staff to fully master these new technical and soft skills.
This month, XR Today hosted an expert roundtable where VirtualiSurg CEO Nicolas Mignan contributed his expert take on the power of immersive learning to address skill gaps, personalise learning pathways and provide necessary scalability for businesses.
Nicolas shares: “Just as aeroplane pilots must complete extensive training in a full flight simulator before taking to the skies, VirtualiSurg’s medical-grade XR simulators guide medical professionals through hazardous journeys in the operating theatre to ensure maximum success.”
