THE FUTURE SKILLS CHALLENGE.

The world of work is rapidly changing with the accelerating rise of robots, AI and automation. McKinsey’s 2019 research into the Future of Work in America predicts that by 2030 “jobs currently held by nearly 15 million workers ages 18–34 may be automated”.

New career paths will need to be created for young people starting out. A report by Jeffrey Lin, ‘Technological adaptation, cities and new work’ highlighted that around 9% of jobs by 2030 will be ones that barely exist today. The biggest challenge for educators is how to equip students with the right skills now, so they are ready for the working world of tomorrow?

EDUCATING FOR REAL WORLD CAREERS.

STEM-related career opportunities are expected to rise rapidly in the next decade. The US Government is responding by targeting grants and funding for future skills development through CTE and STEAM programmes. pi-top’s hardware and software is a great solution for these technology led skills programmes. Students learn hard skills like coding and circuitry, as well as increasingly in-demand soft skills such as communication, critical thinking and problem-solving.
