Curiosity is foundational in the arts, as demonstrated by the Menil Collection's exhibition, which transformed a gallery into an education room through public programs.

The first event is a roundtable on "Zhuangzi: Fate, Desires, Transformation" on April 6th at 9:00am Beijing time.

Product knowledge training is about methodically educating employees, partners, and customers about the ins and outs of a company's products or services. For employees and partners, it's the essential working knowledge they need to confidently sell, support, and deliver the product. For customers, it's the know-how they need to adopt it smoothly and get the most value from it.

To successfully repair after a mistake, you need to acknowledge and name the mistake, validate the other person's feelings and viewpoint, and create a plan for the specific actions you will take to prevent this mistake from occurring again.

Recent research from the World Economic Forum shows that demand for digital skills, including AI, Big Data, and technology literacy, is growing faster than the global workforce can keep pace. This growing imbalance is widening the digital skills gap, leaving many business leaders unsure whether they have the right people, with the right skills, ready to perform at the speed their organizations need to compete and grow.

One of my favorite movies is Good Will Hunting. Will Hunting (played by Matt Damon) is a 20-year-old janitor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Although he works a blue-collar job, he is secretly a self-taught genius with an extraordinary gift for mathematics and an exceptional memory. One day, he anonymously solves a complex math problem left on a chalkboard by Professor Gerald Lambeau, astonishing the faculty.

I was like, 'What do you mean, I can actually work and take some classes?' I didn't even know there were apprenticeships out there, because I thought it was something of the past. That was my dream-to go into some field of engineering-so it was great to find something like AT&T, which has an apprenticeship program where you can jump into it, which later becomes software engineering.

Young people are "experiencing higher education differently, and that is shaping much of what parents are saying," said Lammers. "[Parents] are reacting to the questions their children are asking and trying to find the best way to help them navigate the next steps."

Corporate training courses matter more today than they ever have before. This is because the way we work has changed, and so has the way people learn. In the past, training was often a one-time event, like a workshop or a short onboarding session. Today, this approach is not enough. Skills change rapidly, roles can shift, and companies need ongoing learning. This learning must be flexible and closely linked to real business goals.

In a constantly changing workplace shaped by evolving technology and demanding customers, learning and upskilling are no longer optional; they are essential. Therefore, employees should be adaptable to shifting job requirements to stay relevant and competitive. Workplace learning today is more than just on-the-job training. It has become more dynamic. Bite-sized study modules, mobile-first lessons, and AI-based personalized learning have replaced traditional, classroom-style training sessions, making learning more accessible and convenient for on-the-go learners.
