As a result, the global demand for workers with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/what-are-digital-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital skills<\/a> has never been greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this demand, Salesforce\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/salesforce-digital-skills-index-details-major-gaps-across-19-countries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2022 Global Digital Skills Index<\/a> identified that everyday digital skills among the workforce are lagging.

These profiles, placed into three categories \u2014 Future Learners, Face-Value Learners, and Familiar Learners \u2014 are based on learning similarities, and arm both workers and businesses with insights on how people learn to help upskill more effectively and quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learning-is-different-for-everyone-how-to-upskill-for-individual-learning-styles\">Learning is different for everyone: How to upskill for individual learning styles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that 82% of digital skills index respondents plan to upskill. Learner profiles help individuals self-identify their digital skills readiness, and provide recommended next steps to upskill based on their current level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For businesses, it awards them the chance to get to know their employees and rethink training and development programs in a way that resonates. For both parties, it\u2019s a collective effort to bridge the digital and learning divide that exists by empowering learners with the flexibility they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"contextual-driver has-text-align-left contextual-driver--media\">\n\t<header class=\"tidbit-header\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"tidbit-head\">\n\t\t\tSalesforce Expands Flow Automation Suite \t\t<\/h2>\n\t<\/header>\n\t<div class=\"tidbit-body\">\n\t\t<p><\/p>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"tidbit-link label\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"label has-right-arrow has-right-arrow--small\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/products\/platform\/workflow-automation\/?d=cta-body-promo-2\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t<span>Learn More<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 14 10\">\n\t<path d=\"M13.92 5.38a1 1 0 000-.76.9.9 0 00-.17-.26.25.25 0 000-.07l-4-4a1 1 0 00-1.46 1.42L10.59 4H1.07a1 1 0 000 2h9.52l-2.3 2.29a1 1 0 000 1.42 1 1 0 001.42 0l4-4a.25.25 0 000-.07.9.9 0 00.21-.26z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/aside>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Future Learners are hopeful and agile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Future Learners, made up of the Established Skills Seekers and Proactive Learner profiles, feel prepared to adapt to change and are hopeful about their ability to keep up with the pace.
