From March through May 2020, amid the height of the COVID-19 crisis and rapidly increasing unemployment, individuals receiving Active Placement support—LHH’s reimagined, socially responsible approach to outplacement—completed more upskilling and reskilling courses than were completed by all candidates LHH supported in 2019.
“In reviewing our data on the use of upskilling and reskilling resources, we certainly expected to see some increase over the last three months,” said LHH President, Ranjit de Sousa. “The impact of COVID-19 across every industry has heightened peoples’ awareness of the changing world of work, and the need to take stock of their skills and assess their future career options.

“That said,” de Sousa continued, “seeing the data on this sharp increase in personal learning over such a short time period has demonstrated to us the importance of being nimble and ready to support people as they focus on their careers while facing uncertainty.”
Most notable among the findings, LHH candidates completed over 28,500 courses in the period from March 1 through May 30, 2020 compared to 23,000 courses in all of 2019. LHH also found that candidates watched over 892,000 learning videos in their entirety during the same 3-month period, compared to 785,000 in all of 2019. LHH expects this trend of high engagement in learning during the job search process to continue in the months ahead.
