Technology, Skills, and the Future of Work
K-12 teachers and staff in schools across Ontario must adopt a fresh mindset and provide students with ongoing, personalized support in building the skills they need to succeed in the future of work. In this webinar, Future Design School's managing director Sandra Nagy, and trend analyst Todd Harrison, will unpack workplace trends and discuss some of the innovative teaching and learning practices they encounter through their action research in schools throughout Ontario, across Canada, and around the world. According to the latest national and global projections, the workplace landscape is quickly transforming on two important fronts. First, employees are now expected to arrive on the job with deep experience in key skills like creative and analytical thinking, agility, problem-solving, collaboration, and self-awareness. Secondly, rapid technological innovation is shrinking and shifting the job market, with thousands of jobs in Canada (and millions worldwide) projected to be swallowed up by disruptive forces like machine learning. Come and join us for this "up to the minute" session that will help you stay on the pulse of what's trending in the world of work! Please note that this webinar takes place the day after we return from the holiday break, so you are encouraged to register early. Register Here!
