EDUCATING THE WORKFORCE FOR THE DIGITAL AGE What will the world of work look like in 2050 and how do we educate a workforce for jobs that have not been invented yet.
So how do we prepare the workforce of the future when change is so rapid, and with the best will in the world, our traditional education system is not keeping pace. As a children’s charity we are passionate about young people and preparing them for success in life. Education is a key building block, but so too is resilience, confidence, critical thinking and creativity. Knowledge is now freely available but young people need to be equipped to find, unlock and identify what they need and not get swept away in the relentless sea of information.
