What is Experiential learning (ExL)?
Experiential learning (ExL)
Experiential learning (ExL) is a hands-on approach where employees gain knowledge and skills through direct experience and reflection.
This method allows learners to apply theoretical concepts in real-world scenarios, enhancing understanding, retention, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
Incorporating ExL opportunities, such as simulations, role-plays, and on-the-job training, create engaging and impactful learning experiences that drive performance improvement at the workplace.
