70-20-10 Learning Model
USUK
A framework where 70% of learning comes from experience, 20% from others, 10% formal.
Also: 70:20:10 model
Definition
The 70-20-10 model is a widely used learning and development framework suggesting that 70% of effective learning comes from on-the-job experiences and stretch assignments, 20% from social learning through coaching, mentoring, and peer interaction, and 10% from formal training programs such as courses and workshops. The model advocates for a blended, experience-driven approach to employee development rather than over-reliance on classroom training.
Example
“The L&D team restructured the leadership development program around the 70-20-10 model, supplementing classroom training with on-the-job projects and executive mentoring.”
