This article explores a fictive use case that demonstrates how you can create learning paths with LMS365 to drive professional development.
Investing in employee development can unlock the potential for growth, innovation, and long-term success
One effective approach is implementing learning paths which provide structured training programs that guide employees through different levels of learning.
By unlocking new levels upon completion of each training stage, organizations can cultivate continuous growth and expertise within their workforce. At the same time, the unlocking of levels adds an aspect of gamification, motivating learners to reach the next step in their learning journey.
In this example, we’ll follow Megan from the manufacturing company, Compafi. She seeks to offer learning opportunities for all employees to enable people to follow their career aspirations and to foster intern mobility. She, also, makes an effort in motivating people to engage with learning.
To support this, she creates learning paths in the company’s learning portal that each support employees in pursuing different types of skill development.
Step 1: Assessing Skill Levels
To begin, Megan initiates an assessment of the employee skill levels and identifies areas that require improvement. Megan does this in collaboration with HR and line managers reporting back on the skills in their team and the skills needed to support the organization’s operations and strategy. This evaluation helps her determine the knowledge and competencies necessary to build upon.
Step 2: Designing Learning Paths
Based on the assessment outcomes, Megan designs specific learning paths aligned with job roles and career progression within the organization. Each learning path consists of courses of multiple levels, with increasing complexity and depth of knowledge.
Megan makes sure that each course in the learning path has to be completed in the order she defines. To unlock and begin the next course of the learning path, the learner will have to complete the previous course first.
Megan gathers and develops interactive and engaging training modules tailored to each level within the learning paths. These modules included a mix of e-learning courses, hands-on workshops, simulations, and mentorship programs. She also leverages digital resources, such as videos, presentations, and quizzes, to facilitate effective knowledge transfer.
Step 3: Advancing to New Levels
Megan sets up the LMS365 Skills Framework with skills and skill levels to support the progression of courses in the training paths. Each skill has levels corresponding with the level of proficiency granted by the courses of the learning path it relates to. As employees complete the training requirements for a specific course, they’re rewarded with a skill and the opportunity to unlock the next course within their learning path.
For example, the production department has a learning path leading people to be granted the skill "Advanced Manufacturing Specialist." The first course in this learning path grants the skill “Entry-level Manufacturing Specialist” the next skill that is granted is “Junior Manufacturing Specialist, then “Intermediate Manufacturing Specialist”, “Senior Manufacturing Specialist”, and finally the completion of all courses in the learning path grants learners the skill "Advanced Manufacturing Specialist".
Megan feels confident the learning paths will provide Compafi with a structured framework to guide employees through various levels of training and skill development. By unlocking new levels of courses upon completion and achieving new career advancing skills, Compafi can cultivate a culture of continuous learning, engagement, and career advancement.
The implementation of learning paths not only enhances individual capabilities among employees but also contributes to the overall growth and success of the organization in a rapidly evolving business landscape.

Let's face it - companies that invest in their employees' development and training are the ones that rise above the rest and stay ahead of the competition. However, traditional training methods can be a drag on resources - they eat up time and money, and often fall short of expectations. That's where AI-powered learning programs swoop in to save the day!
These accelerated programs harness the power of artificial to deliver personalized training to employees, helping them acquire new skills and knowledge, and ultimately increasing their productivity and effectiveness on the job. In this article, we will explore the many benefits of AI-based learning programs and how they can help businesses unlock the full potential of their workforce.
Employee growth and efficiency go hand in hand. When employees are given the tools and resources they need to succeed, they are more likely to be engaged, motivated, and productive. However, traditional training methods can be ineffective, as they often fail to address the individual needs and learning styles of employees. This can lead to a lack of engagement and retention, and ultimately hinder an organization's growth and success.
AI-driven learning programs offer a solution to this problem. By leveraging artificial intelligence, these programs can provide more tailored training for employees’ unique needs and learning styles. This can help employees acquire new skills and knowledge faster and more effectively, leading to increased productivity and efficiency.
The benefits of AI-based learning programs are numerous, and they can help businesses of all sizes and industries achieve their goals. Here are a few key benefits of AI-driven learning programs:
One of the biggest advantages of AI-powered learning programs is that they provide personalized training to employees. If the company can understand an employee's learning style, strengths, and weaknesses, they can use AI-powered programs to deliver more customized training. This can help employees learn faster and more effectively, leading to increased productivity and efficiency.
“Organizations who thrive will be those who can help each employee feel as if they are making progress in the ways that feel most meaningful to them individually.”
Jason Lauritsen, Author of Unlocking High Performance
Traditional training methods can be expensive and time-consuming. AI-driven learning programs can help reduce these costs by providing training that is more efficient and effective.
By providing personalized training that is tailored to each employee's needs, AI learning programs can help improve employee performance and productivity. Employees who receive the training and support they need to succeed are more likely to be engaged, motivated, and productive, leading to better overall business performance.
Employee engagement and retention are critical factors that can impact an organization's success. AI-driven learning programs can help increase employee engagement and retention by providing training that is more engaging and relevant to each employee's needs. This can lead to higher levels of job satisfaction, motivation, and loyalty, ultimately benefiting the organization as a whole.
AI-driven learning programs revolutionize employee training by providing personalized, efficient, and flexible learning experiences. Unlike traditional methods, AI-based programs tailor training to meet individual needs and learning styles, increasing engagement and retention.
With the ability to analyze employees' learning preferences, these programs deliver more effective training in less time and with fewer resources. Additionally, some AI-powered learning programs offer flexibility, allowing employees to access training anytime and anywhere, accommodating their busy schedules. By providing customized and relevant training, AI-driven programs keep employees motivated and engaged throughout the learning process.
Applying AI-driven learning programs in your organization requires careful planning and execution to ensure effective engagement. Here are some steps to consider when implementing these programs:
Nearly two-thirds (64%) of business owners believe AI will improve customer relationships.

Monitoring the effectiveness of AI-driven learning programs is critical to ensuring their success. Let’s cover some metrics and questions to consider when measuring the effectiveness of these programs:
Are employees acquiring new skills and knowledge? Are they able to apply what they've learned on the job?
Are employees completing the training? Are they engaged and motivated throughout the training process? Do they share courses with peers? Do they offer positive feedback on the courses?
Are employees staying with the organization longer? Are they more satisfied with their jobs?
Are employees more productive and efficient? Is the organization achieving its goals?
The future of AI-backed learning programs in the workplace is bright. As artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to advance, these programs will become even more personalized and effective. In the future, we can expect AI-driven learning programs to:
AI-driven learning programs are revolutionizing the way we train and develop employees. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning, these programs deliver personalized training that caters to each employee's specific needs and learning style.
The advantages of AI-driven learning programs are diverse, ranging from cost and time savings to improved employee engagement and retention. As artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to evolve, the potential for employee engagement and overall organizational success are sure to expand as well.
