Figure 8. Which Industry Education Have You Participated In Within the Last 12 Months or What Would You Be Interested In?
Education and training are crucial in our industry and our fast-paced world. Seventy percent of respondents are obtaining additional education through industry webinars. Forty percent are reading ON THE RISK or attending local AHOU meetings. These are out - standing numbers, proving that continuing education opportunities are essential to keep our profession moving forward. There are many opportunities to develop personally and professionally in our industry. Spending a couple of hours a week on personal growth is simply good
for business. Engaged employees care about their work and their customers. Without the knowledge that 95% of people were working on development, we asked what barriers kept people from prioritizing this development, noticing themes of capacity and bandwidth return. Keeping in mind the high engagement from the 2023 survey, if the opportunities of ALU trainings, under - writing conferences and mentorship are supported from leadership, the results of professional knowl- edge and proficiency will come in droves.
