Lifelong learning is the self-motivated, voluntary, ongoing pursuit of knowledge for personal or professional reasons. It may occur formally or informally, intentionally or incidentally.
Lifelong learning is gaining momentum but this brings up the question: As L&D leaders—who advocate, develop, and deliver continuous professional development opportunities for the employees inside our organizations—shouldn’t we also pursue lifelong learning for ourselves?
No doubt, your answer is a resounding yes! Most likely, though, this thought is followed quickly with a litany of reasons why it’s nearly impossible. We know it takes a commitment to learn – in fact in our most recent ATD member survey 46% of our members say lack of time is one of their top challenges. Beyond finding the time and resources, the state of the learning and development industry is constantly changing. Learn more about the impact of lifelong learning and how you, too, can become a lifelong learner with ATD.
Lifelong learning “is no longer a nice to have, but a need to have for employees and employers to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving world of work.” Learn how lifelong learning is changing today's workforce and how you can get started on your learning journey with ATD in this article, "L&D Pros Need Lifelong Learning, Too."
