Skill gaps affect the services the public relies on
78% of talent development professionals expect future skill gaps in the government workforce. (Source: ATD Research, Government Agencies Face Current and Future Skills Gaps)
Government workforces often span generations, locations, and shift schedules, making it difficult to reach everyone consistently with training. When training falls behind, the impact can show up in service delays, compliance risk, and the experience of the people agencies serve.
Agencies also face pressure to attract, develop, and retain talent as roles change and experienced employees retire. Building skills internally helps prepare people for new responsibilities and future leadership roles.

A partner in your learning program
Government L&D teams often support a wide range of departments, roles, and training needs with limited resources. OpenSesame’s expert curation team draws from dozens of publishers, helping a lean L&D team cover an agency-wide range of topics without building most of the training in-house.
That means less time chasing down vendors for one-off topics, and more time on the training that actually moves your agency's mission forward.
