This week many business and government leaders are meeting at the @World Economic Forum annual meeting. One of the specific topics of interest in #Davos is how to prepare the global workforce for an automated and augmented world. The previous week, I posted an article from the #worldeconomicforum close to my heart: the economic imperative to address the skills gap in youth education. You can read the article here: https://lnkd.in/g7wNp5h I believe focusing on the youth skills gap is critical. Unfortunately, the educational models that we rely on to prepare students for the world are outmoded and will not sufficiently prepare young people for solid careers in many industries in the business world. Even in wealthy countries, the education systems are based on knowledge created from a time when the world was not augmented by #AI. Business and education need to partner to make certain our youth are well prepared for the #futureofwork. #wef19 #reskillingrevolution #skilling
Well said! And this is a message Aaron Skonnard?of Pluralsight has also been spearheading. A platform like Pluralsight will become increasingly essential in helping the World to reskill their workforce to a world of AI, and whatever comes after that. Aaron outlines the problem and a solution here:?https://www.pluralsight.com/about/ipo
I totally echo your sentiments. The crisis of our time is the crisis in our thinking. Preparing students will also involve being awake, aware and alert that all technology has not been proven safe. As Buckminster Fuller stated... Go out there and make the old obsolete for we cannot keep doing the same things and expect different results.
