Reading time: 7 minutes
I’m going to talk to you about the importance of working with the people that currently have jobs, how to make their jobs better, how to prepare them for the changes in the future.
Intro
Before we going to go into how we can educate with the help of technology, starting from primary school, I want to give you a little bit of understanding on how the world is going and we heard today about the Industrial Revolution 4.0. And sometimes they say people say that 4.0 hasn’t started yet, but I would say it is here as is now, it is time for us to think it over and take some action about that. Think how quick the world is moving and changing it with the help of technology.
If you are old enough you should remember a landline phone. And so some members of your family were thinking like, oh, why would I need a mobile phone I have a nice landline phone connected to the wall. I have the number I can talk to people and so on so forth. When was it? It was not that long ago. And then now you have a mini computer in your pocket. And you kind of connected to the computer, you have your own phone number, and how quickly everything is moving. So you can make the purchase, you can connect to the world, you can talk to your family, you can do the videos and everything, everything, everything. So that’s how quickly everything is changing.
The Future
Now, keeping that in mind, think of the jobs that appeared in the recent 10 years. This means event 10 or 12 years ago, the kids who studied at school had learnt something that was not applicable for the jobs of today like Android developer, cloud engineer, social media marketing manager and others. So people who were already in the jobs they had to adopt, and this is something that was already explained that people have to change.
Choose the jobs of the future and change their skills, and so on so forth! There is a nice research, which I really liked and want to share with you how people are feeling about and the millennials feeling about the the job uncertainty, some eople are scared some people excited, some people are thinking that I’m not prepared for that I need to do something.
And it could be scary that some kids that right now or at school, they might think like oh my god, I’m studying something, I had to know what’s going to happen. And that was job I’m gonna have scary enough, maybe you can take it like opportunity. But World Economic Forum presented the top skills that might be useful for the jobs in the future.

To conclude
And this is pretty much the skills that we need to think of when preparing the kids for the future. So as you see there is a competitive table about the skill that as they were nominated in 2015. And then thousand 20. That’s the skills that are most important that will be differentiator between the humans and and jobs that are taken by robots. That is their skill set will help to pretty much get the kids involved in their up to date life and get on speed. And I want you to just have a look between the dates, 2015 and 2020. It’s just five years time, and how quickly everything is changing and how quickly everything is powered.
And I think the most important part here to realize that we everybody is talking about the business and how business is influenced by technology, and how technology is powering the business and automating it and making life better and how the business is actually growing. thanks to technology.
Now think of that the kids at the same time that are studying in school, they are start at education is still delivered in the analog age? And how do we all of us expect to have the qualified workforce, or people having any of those skills, if they keep on studying like it was? Keep on getting vacation like it was delivered hundreds years ago?
