The new Industry Digital Plan will guide SME training providers in this journey of Digital Transformation. Once this first step of digitising administrative processes and moving training resources online is completed, the next step is to look into digital marketing or using artificial intelligence technologies to developed a customised curriculum for each learner for smarter coaching.

Corporate trainers and educators will require new skills needed as the industry pivots towards new ways of delivering lessons.
