Helping people upskill and future-proof themselves in our fast-changing work environment will be the defining challenge of our time. Identifying in-demand skills and providing access to employment will be the solution to the Skills Revolution.

What are the future skills which will be needed given the exponential growth in technology fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented and virtual reality (AR, VR), data science, digital biology and biotech, medicine, nanotech, and digital fabrication, networks and computing systems, robotics, and autonomous vehicles? The rate of change is enough to make parents and educators heads’ spin but it is crucial that our employment, training, and educations systems are able to respond to this rapidly changing landscape. Having the right skills at the right time – and in the right place within Canada’s workforce – will support Canada’s ability to be competitive and prosperous.

The global workforce is in transition, and the way we’ll learn the skills we need and find the work we want will disrupt decades of formal education and workplace training. Already, young people around the world are pioneering new distributed pathways to learning, working, and living. At the same time, inequities in access to work—income inequality, discrimination, and high-risk labor—will require us to reinvent the “good job” for this new distributed global workforce. IFTF’s Work+Learn Futures Lab is helping learners, workers, educators, and employers get #futurefit for a new workable future.
