Did you know that most of what we learn at work doesn’t come from formal education? The 70-20-10 framework breaks it down: ?? 70% of learning happens through on-the-job experiences—real tasks, challenges, and problem-solving. ?? 20% comes from observing others, seeking mentorship, and having collaborative conversations. ?? 10% is from formal education, like workshops or training programs.
