As industries continually evolve due to rapid technological advancements, the education sector must adapt accordingly. According to the World Economic Forum's 2024 Future of Jobs report, a staggering 44% of essential skills will need to be redefined by 2028. This pivotal change underlines the growing necessity for continuous education within the workforce. A LinkedIn Learning report also emphasizes this trend, revealing that 79% of professionals believe ongoing learning is crucial for career progression, a notable increase from 64% in 2020.

In the hospitality realm, a recent survey by Sommet Education discovered that 30% of young professionals prioritize personal development, while 29% regard professional growth as a critical component of their career journey. These insights prompted Sommet Education, a global leader in hospitality and culinary education, to introduce Sommet Education Business Solutions.
