Reskilling, what is it?

Reskilling is a process where companies and individuals train people to take on different roles from the ones they currently perform, adapting them to the new demands of the industry. Its relevance is growing in the face of the invasion of artificial intelligence, which threatens to automate traditional jobs and create imbalances in the labor market.

And how does it affect the corporate events sector?

In areas like event organization, for instance, many companies opt for quick AI-based solutions (such as generating automatic itineraries) instead of training specialists who understand their strategic needs. This approach reveals a critical gap: the lack of profiles that combine technical skills and in-depth business knowledge.

Adaptable Talent

In this scenario, it is much more viable to train internal professionals in new sectors than to hire external specialists. Examples like Vodafone (which turns to internal talent to meet their software development needs) or Amazon (with its Machine Learning University that has successfully trained its employees).

In conclusion, reskilling involves taking certain risks in skill gaps and overcoming resistance to change to adapt to new market changes. This helps both employees remain employable and grow professionally, and the company to reduce costs and prepare for future challenges.
