Genpact, EdCast, and Positive Planet US Collaborate to Provide Free Online Learning to Under-Resourced Entrepreneurs
Genpact | May 24, 2021
To help under-resourced entrepreneurs develop critical skills for fulfillment in today's challenging and competitive economic environment, three leading organizations are coming together to expand the depth of content available during a free online learning platform designed to enable business success and, in turn, help spur community-based economic revival.
Genpact, a worldwide professional services firm focused on delivering digital transformation; EdCast, a pacesetter in online corporate learning and upskilling; and Positive Planet US, a non-profit organization that promotes inclusive and sustainable economic process and employment, have joined forces to lend their respective expertise to support entrepreneurs and help them amplify their impact on the communities that they serve.
The partnership adds essential learning resources for startup owners to Genpact's Adapt and Rise e-learning platform, developed and built with EdCast. In an attempt to democratize access to critical business skills, Genpact opened the program to the general public in 2020, sharing a subset of its learning content from its own highly successful internal continuous learning platform, Genome, which is inspired by work with MIT's Center for Collective Intelligence.
Genpact launched Adapt and Rise during the pandemic to offer all professionals a free platform to upskill, reskill, and thrive in an increasingly digital economy and help companies become more resilient with adaptive, agile workforces. The challenges of the last year have further underscored how businesses increasingly need professionals with a mixture of hard and soft skills to achieve success in today's business environment. For this reason, knowledgeable learning path may include building digital skills, like AI (AI) and analytics, paired with training in agile methodologies, change management, and storytelling.
The site builds on Genpact's expertise and therefore the collective intelligence of its quite 90,000 employees honed from delivering real-world change for many companies. quite 10 million learning hours were logged at Genpact within the last year.
Positive Planet features a highly successful diary of helping millions round the world, helping create sustainable development solutions for disadvantaged populations, especially women and youth. Launched 23 years ago with the mission to form the planet more positive economically, socially, and environmentally, it's helped quite 11 million people leave poverty behind. Its work strives for a more equal society, helping underserved communities – independent of their race, gender, background – create their own jobs and prosperity through entrepreneurship.
Positive Planet brings new content to the platform created for the unique needs of entrepreneurs, including curricula in such areas as sales strategy and business development, growth and operations, and marketing, legal, accounting, and finance for little businesses. Adapting business models during a difficult economy makes continuous learning and reskilling vital, and these learning paths offer the precise skills needed to create and grow a startup. The success of those businesses brings benefits to local communities as entrepreneurship can provide new career journeys also as economic revival.
Learning journeys from Genpact available on Adapt and Rise cover in-demand skills, including AI , change management, customer experience, design thinking, storytelling, digital business strategy, and other people leadership. Combining those courses with Positive Planet's range of learning curriculum for business planning for little business gives entrepreneurs access to a breadth of experience that's critical to success, but is just too often difficult to seek out in one place.
Powered by EdCast's award-winning learning and talent experience platform, Adapt and Rise offers on-demand learning at an important time.
