In the world of corporate training, the 70-20-10 model has become a gold standard for effective learning. Developed by the Center for Creative Leadership, this model suggests that employees acquire knowledge and skills through a mix of hands-on experience, social interaction, and formal courses. Let’s break down each component and explore how Circle LMS brings the model to life.
1. Experiential Learning (70%) – Real Skills, Real Results
Experiential learning is all about doing. It’s where 70% of employee learning happens—through hands-on, on-the-job practice. Imagine employees mastering tasks directly in their work environment, developing skills and confidence simultaneously. Circle LMS transforms this process with:
On-Site Exams: Circle LMS lets you easily schedule and manage on-site exams, providing a structured way to assess practical skills in the field. This is especially valuable for roles that require direct observation or hands-on demonstration.
SOP Documentation: With Circle LMS, you can centralize Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and provide employees with the essential guidelines and checklists needed for consistent, high-quality task execution
VR Simulations: Immerse employees in realistic, risk-free simulations that sharpen skills in a controlled environment. VR training can mirror real-world challenges, allowing employees to practice and learn from complex scenarios safely.
2. Social Learning (20%) – Learning From Others
Social learning accounts for 20% of employee development, empowering them to learn through collaboration, mentorship and shared experiences. With Circle LMS, your team connects through:
Community Forums: Employees can engage in discussions, ask questions, and share insights through built-in community forums. These dedicated forums encourage employees to connect beyond formal settings, fostering a culture of shared wisdom and open communication across teams.
Live Discussions and Webinars: Schedule webinars, roundtables, or live Q&A sessions where employees can engage with experts, work with peers, and gain fresh perspectives. This is social learning at its finest—dynamic, interactive, and memorable.
3. Formal Learning (10%) – Building a Solid Foundation
The final 10% of learning happens through formal programs, providing foundational knowledge that employees can build on. Circle LMS makes formal learning structured yet flexible with tools like:
Course Builder: From compliance to technical skills, create and deliver a wide range of courses tailored to your needs. Circle’s course authoring tools make building impactful content easy and efficient.
Blended Learning Options: Combine self-paced modules, live workshops, and assessments into cohesive curriculums, giving employees a personalized learning experience that caters to diverse learning styles.
Certifications and Compliance Tracking: Effortlessly manage and issue certificates, with automated tracking and renewals to keep employees compliant and industry-ready.
Conclusion
The 70:20:10 model isn’t just theory—it’s a transformative, balanced approach to workforce learning.
