BCG U: Building Skills and Capabilities for the Future


Advanced Upskilling, Reskilling, and Talent Development to Accelerate your Advantage

The speed and effectiveness of learning increasingly drives competitive advantage. BCG U combines the expertise of practitioners, designers, tech developers, and technology to provide the necessary organizational learning, upskilling and reskilling, and training to create competitive advantage. Powerful learning organizations are built quickly and at scale, so teams are ready to succeed in a digital future.

In an increasingly bionic age, leading organizations will be those that can blend the powerful capabilities of humans with the latest advances in technology. Keeping up with the human side of that equation means enabling continuous skill development, both within an executive team and across an organization.

Whether it’s the evolution of digital and AI, shifts in work models and customer expectations, or the need to address issues of climate and sustainability, the pace of change is dizzying. Learning must keep up to prepare the workforce of the future.

Bringing Job Seekers Back to Work through Digital Reskilling at Scale

Singapore’s digital talent gap is a key challenge for companies, often hindering for the country’s ambition to be a tech hub. Together with SkillsFuture Singapore, BCG set about shrinking that gap by launching a unique train-and-place program called Rapid & Immersive Skill Enhancement (RISE). The program aims to upskill and reskill 1,500 mid-career Singaporean professionals to pivot into in-demand data and digital roles.
