According to the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, most newly learned information is lost within hours. That is, unless it\u2019s reinforced through practice. For organizations scaling tech capabilities and new AI tools, the forgetting curve poses a critical business risk to workforce performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hands-on learning mitigates that risk. When employees practice new skills in real or simulated scenarios, that opportunity to apply knowledge improves retention by up to 75%. The brain doesn\u2019t simply recognize familiar information, it\u2019s able to recall it independently, outside of the learning environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
