Work of the past, work of the future

The digital skills gap is widening fast. Here’s how to bridge it

(by Miguel Milano, published on 12 March 2019)

The digital transformation is a skills and education opportunity for all. Companies must use it

University Not a Must

”New technologies, globalisation and population ageing are affecting the type and quality of jobs that are available, and the skills required to do them. In many countries the number of manufacturing jobs, for example, is decreasing. New jobs requiring new combinations of skills, such as data scientists or social media managers, are emerging in their place. For everyone to benefit from these changes, adult learning systems must be ready to support people in acquiring the skills needed for this changing world of work”.  

EU-OECD Forum – Making Adult Learning Work for the Future

Is this Finnish school the perfect design?

”The walls are coming down in Finland’s schools” – read all about the inovations in the education system in the following article.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/10/why-finland-is-tearing-down-walls-in-schools/?utm_content=bufferaee3e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Automation, Globalisation, Urbanisation, Inequality, Political uncertainty  Interacting trends of the future.

Historically Technology creates more jobs than it destroys.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 65% of today’s grade school kids will be in jobs that don’t yet exist. This generation is expected to have 14 jobs between 18 and 44. What are the key skills that students need to cultivate to lead and innovate in a fundamentally turbulent economy?

The ILO’s flagship report, World Employment and Social Outlook – Trends 2018 highlights the challenges for the coming year in jobs and the labour market and looks at global and regional employment trends. The report also focuses on efforts that need to be put in place to improve the quality of work for jobholders, paying particular attention to working poverty and vulnerable employment.

While many business incubators are already up and running, making business of many kinds, there are very few that focus only on education technology. The education sector, especially, lacks the connection between the startups and the target: teachers. The incubator and accelerator programs have an extensive network of teachers and other resources that can benefit the startups. Many successful startups already came out of these edtech incubators.
