Overview
The Future of Jobs.
of children entering primary school today will work in jobs that do not exist today.
The world around us is changing so fast it will change 14 times by the end of this article - developments in genetics, artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, 3D printing and biotechnology - lay the foundation for a comprehensive and significant revolution we have ever seen.
While the impending change brings with it a great promise of growth and renewal in consumption patterns, production and employment it poses many challenges. Changes of business models impact on the future of work - jobs of tomorrow have not yet been invented, other jobs are about to evaporate, current knowledge and skills may be irrelevant to the world of work of tomorrow.
The world economic forum reports that 65% of children entering primary school today will ultimately end up working in completely new job types that don't yet exist and 50% of all employees will need reskilling by 2025, as adoption of technology increases.
The implication in terms of education and training is that beyond the development of skills and abilities required in the market. The question, then, is how businesses, governments and individuals will respond to these developments to prevent the worst-case scenario - technological change accompanied by talent shortages, mass unemployment and growing inequality - reskilling and upskilling of tomorrow's workers becomes critical.

Young professionals struggle to identify their employment core and manage their careers over time. They lack knowledge of employment opportunities, skills, relevant employment experience, and a professional network.
