How to design training for disengaged learners like Gen Z

Tara Mount, Instructional Designer at Aptive Environmental, shares how she got Gen Z sales reps to take training in their free time — and actually enjoy it — by designing microlearning that earns trust and attention.

You will learn how to:

  • Design training that cuts through the attention economy to engage distracted learners
  • Use short-form video, high-quality design, and personalization to keep learners coming back
  • Apply spaced repetition with reminders and learning paths to make knowledge stick
  • Make learners the protagonists with achievable challenges that build confidence and recall
  • Leverage SME credibility and peer examples to drive buy-in from skeptical audiences
