We would like to share two predictions of the future of work so you can all join in with your contributions.

The first prediction is that Artificial Intelligence(AI) and robotics will create more jobs, not mass unemployment as is feared. #MTGTuesdayTalk

The second prediction is that our education system would break out of silos!
Our education system is broken and it’s no news that the way we educate future generations no longer prepare them adequately for the skills and jobs of today. #tfow #mtgng #mtgtuesdaytalk

Thank you @elijahuwas for those amazing contributions.

Now questions arise about our role in the incoming digital revolution and our place in The Future of Work!

#mtgng #mtgtuesdaytalk #tfow

First question.

What skills would be relevant for the Work of The Future? As old traditional skills, fall away, newer skills are rising up to keep pace with new technology

#mtgng #MTGNg #mtgtuesdaytalk

Some of the most in-demand skills for The Future of Work include

Complex Problem Solving
Critical Thinking
Creativity

Active Listening and much more!!

Now more than ever, young people need to get smart about positioning themselves for the jobs of the future. There are vast resources available online & offline which allows them to learn these critical skills and which can get them prepared to face a future workplace.

There are 3 main objectives of the #FutureOfWork campaign

1. To describe future labour market impacts and required competencies.

2. To identify social & civic implications of exponential technology - particularly the emerging issues that educators, parents and policymakers should begin addressing.
