As the organizations getting prepared for the fourth industrial revolution, to enhance the skills of their workforce what type of changes are necessary and going to occur in the training and development function of HRM? How the organizations are going to enhance the workforce skills to adapt to 4IR?

Hi There,
I think there's two sections to this:
1. How are companies physically going to train people:
I recently wrote a paper about the utilisation of 4IR theory to train people using a digitised approach. For example we used to train people in the class room on lean systems and tools. Since the pandemic we are utilising digital training, allowing people to do the training without the need to gather socially. Also, the option to carry out digital training at home. Basically we have trained significantly more people than what we would have, if we continued with the classroom training. The classroom training still has its place and has advantages over the digital training i.e. you can ask the human teacher, if you need more clarification. However, I think even post pandemic we will utilise digital training to support the classroom based training.
2. What are they going to train them in:
I suppose the second part is what are we going to train out. I think a lot of 4IR will be integrated naturally. A digital approach to certain process will replace old processes. This will be picked up by the people responsible for the process and they will learn this on the job.
In terms of teaching people, I think coding, programming, utilising applications such Microsoft Access, PowerApps, etc, is a start. However, governments need to aim to train children at grass roots level to ensure we have the skills coming through.
These are just some of my thoughts on the topic.
