We see the rise of so called 'super jobs' which means that technology has not only changed the nature of the skills the job requires but has changed the nature of the work and the job itself.
Super-jobs require technical and soft skills, but also leverage the significant productivity and efficiency gains that can arise when people work with smart machines, data, and algorithms.
With the need to sustain 50-60 year careers as part of a 100-year life, lifelong learning has evolved from a matter of career advancement to workplace survival.
By 2022, everyone will need an extra 101 Days of Learning to stay relevant in this fast paced World of Work. The question is - how do you keep up with the changes and news and what are the best tips, tricks and tools to not only consume information and knowledge but also learn how to implement it?
Join us for a conversation were we discuss the three broader trends in how learning is evolving: it is becoming more integrated with work; it is becoming more personal; and it is shifting – slowly – toward lifelong models.
This time, we will be joined by our Panel, consisting of:
