Bailey is a modern professional learner seeking their first job. They want a learning experience that is collaborative, flexible, and allows them to take ownership of their development. Rather than traditional training methods, Bailey prefers networking with colleagues, accessing on-demand resources, and learning through real-world experiences and social collaboration on a daily basis. Human resources and learning and development professionals should empower self-directed learning, support manager-led development, and provide modern training options to help Bailey and other modern learners thrive in today's workplace.
