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
