Event Details

The world is rapidly changing, and so is the landscape of work and employment. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), 50% of today's jobs could be automated by AI and machines by 2055. The pandemic also accelerated the growth of remote work, gig economy, entrepreneurship, e-commerce and automation. Both technology and the pandemic have transformed the skills required in an increasingly competitive and inter-disciplinary study and work environment. Based on WEF research, 50% of all employees will need reskilling by 2025 to adapt to the latest technological advancements. It also indicates the top skills required by 2025 include analytical thinking and innovation, active learning and complex problem solving. As reskilling and life-long learning become essential, our mindsets and attitudes need to be more flexible and adaptable, so as to collaborate with diverse people. Entrepreneurial spirit, resilience and learning from failures are indispensable attributes in problem solving. To equip students with future skills, we need to bridge the gap between what students are learning and the practical skills required by employers. How can students better prepare themselves to meet the expectations in the workplace? What should students keep in mind when selectingtheir course of study at university and preparing for the future? Furthermore, how can parents guide and inspire their children? This seminar will explore the tools necessary to be future-ready, and the paths towards finding one's passions and interests.
