InStride Wins 'Best Professional Development Solution of the Year' Award for Capability Accelerators
InStride, a prominent workforce development company, has been honored with the prestigious "Best Professional Development Solution of the Year" award by EdTech Breakthrough Awards. Their innovative program, Capability Accelerators, focuses on closing critical capability gaps within organizations by offering cohort-based professional development programs tailored to specific roles and business needs. These programs, developed in collaboration with academic and industry partners, emphasize applied learning, peer collaboration, and AI-powered practice to enhance employees' skills in a short period of five to 15 weeks.
The Capability Accelerators cover a wide range of areas such as leadership development, AI, business and financial acumen, patient experience, and supply chain and operations. InStride has partnered with leading organizations in various industries to create accelerators for leadership development and AI upskilling. For instance, at Magna International, a major automotive supplier, InStride introduced an Operations Management Accelerator that helped high-potential leaders prepare for general manager roles. The program's success was evident as 28% of participants advanced into leadership positions within months, and all reported increased leadership readiness.
Craig Maloney, the CEO of InStride, highlighted the significance of Capability Accelerators in addressing the evolving needs of both employers and employees. By leveraging AI and collaborating with academic partners, InStride develops tailored programs that bridge performance gaps efficiently. The company's client success stories underscore the effectiveness of this approach, and InStride is proud to have their innovative approach recognized by EdTech Breakthrough.
