In this episode, I speak with library-of-the-future software veteran Tony Zanders who is also founder and CEO of SkillType, a company and product Tony created to help people to increase their industry-relevant skills and credentials and also to help libraries and information professionals with job skill analysis and development. The ultimate goal is to “future-proof” the information industry and remove the unnecessary dividing line between education, upskilling and work. Skilltype is reimaginging professional development and it’s not a moment too soon.

Access to information and the ability to upskill and reskill virtually is critically important. The pandemic has definitely shined a light on this reality. Employers are now returning to training their workforce. So Tony has positioned Skilltype to leverage that need in order to empower the information professionals industry on both sides of the education vs work divide. Skilltype is in Beta right now. So catch this amazing project on the way up! Drop a comment and let me know what you think about this episode and the future of work.
