Training institutes are continuously developing online learning programs to meet the current increasing demands for distance learning. Despite the seemingly successful integration of technology to the teaching and training process, there are still limitations that need to be addressed and areas that need improvement. Even if companies were forced to embrace the rapid changes brought by the pandemic, lifelong learning should still be the primary goal of Educational Technology (EdTech).

The future of education lies in the seamless integration of technology and learning. Both companies and universities have important roles to play when it comes to ensuring the development of their potential employees and learners respectively. At present, universities are now shifting their teaching platforms to virtual and online classrooms, whereas companies are turning to online training sessions and webinars.
