➡️ Some are calling it the fourth industrial revolution…the rise of the machines.

➡️ Automation is accelerating, eliminating jobs that have always been performed by humans.

➡️ The current pace of change requires a skills-based, rather than the degree-based labour market.

➡️ Skills, not job titles are the new currency. 

➡️ Our educational systems have not kept pace with the changing nature of work.

➡️ Many jobs post-2025 will be unrecognizable to today's workforce.

➡️ Many activities that workers carry out today have the potential to be automated.

➡️ Skills for the gig economy:

1️⃣ Generalists with customer service & collaboration skills will be in demand.

2️⃣ Project Management & Project Coordination skills will be in demand.

3️⃣ Target customer-centric & planning skills.

4️⃣ The ability to make sense of big data will become a sought-after skill.

➡️ Businesses will need to foster a culture of learning.

🔥 But disruption is an opportunity as well as a challenge if you prepare.🔥

➡️ Are you ready for the coming job shift?

➡️ Are your children ready?
