This document discusses the need for upskilling and reskilling workers during the COVID-19 economic crisis. It notes that the skills gap is increasing and jobless rates could reach 30% due to the pandemic's economic impact. While recessions typically increase enrollment in education, people may be unwilling to enroll in long-term programs given current uncertainty. The document argues that now is the critical time for upskilling, as 54% of the workforce will need reskilling in the next 5 years. Barriers to learning like lack of time have been reduced as people work from home with more flexible hours. A new learning model is proposed that combines working and learning time through sabbaticals and lifelong learning.
