The current emphasis of internal Training Centers/Academies of enterprises is all about the learner experience.

Just as businesses focus on customer experience, learner experience is becoming a trend. Indeed, a good learning experience will make learning more engaging, improve learning performance, and gradually shift learning from passive to active.

Gamification (Learning through game design elements)

Gamification has become familiar to trainers in the past five years. Trainers/Instructional designers have to incorporate gaming activities throughout the program from the outset.

Programs need to be tiered with challenges, from easy to difficult, as a continuous journey. The gamification design needs to consider the player. Only then will players be interested in interacting and persevering to engage with the game.

The same as direct training, digitizing training is also necessary. Gamifying all learning materials and programs is not a simple process. Trainers need a gaming mindset and appropriate design from the beginning for each program. Of course, it’s not feasible to digitize multiple programs with the same game. We need diversity for a diverse program, providing more choices for learners.

Comprehensive application of AI in digitizing lectures

The years 2023 – 2024 mark a breakthrough in AI and innovation automation technology. The design concept of gamification is now much simpler. Trainers now only need to pose questions through AI applications to have countless ideas for designing gamification for their programs. This makes digitizing lectures to attract a large number of learners even easier.

The younger generation prefers learning anytime, anywhere, so all learning materials need to be digitized to meet their needs. Learning in a confined space will make learning burdensome.

As the upcoming trend is “outsourcing” and “freelancing,” the new form of digitizing lectures meets this demand. Furthermore, online learning assists business reducing training costs significantly and all knowledge acquisition within the enterprise.

Specialized training focuses on gamification

Specialized training is one of the main training topics. Therefore, the core competencies within the enterprise will be packaged and digitized to transfer knowledge across workers.

This significantly reduces training risks within the enterprise when issues related to teaching are no longer crucial. Digitizing everything, with digitizing lectures contributing to sustainable business development.

Digitizing lectures for globalization

When everything is digitized, workers anywhere can learn effectively. However, there will be a challenge in the diversity of learning materials. Therefore, we need a consistent standard to make learners in different learning environments feel comfortable. This is also a significant challenge for program developers as their daily requirements for expertise increase.

As the winner of the Innovative Company of the Year at the Asia Education Award 2023 and ranked TOP 10 in the Global Edtech Awards 2023, Talent Gate confidently serves as a reliable partner to help businesses build diverse, rich digitization programs to enhance work efficiency and training quality for enterprises.


These are the upcoming Learning and Development trends for businesses. We believe these trends will continue to develop in Vietnam until 2030, where in a studious country like Vietnam, the pursuit of progress, integration, and global development will never cease.
