The impact of technological innovation on the world is vast and indisputable. Recent advances in digital and automation technologies are (re)shaping how we live and work. The speed of their evolution, however, makes it difficult to predict how we will live and work.
It’s not so much, that jobs of the future are an absolute unknown, despite the pervasiveness of such sentiment, in so much as the structure of work will change and require a different kind of skills-based interface built around technological efficiency and proficiency. And while the world of work is disrupted by technological innovation so too are the means of preparation for sustained and meaningful employment. Consequently, what we learn and how we learn and the value of such in terms of possibilities for work are subject to change.
