On 19th August 2020, I gave a webinar through CollegeDunia for fresh 12th pass-outs on this theme. In this more than 1 hour-long session, I  focused on the following four issues: 1. Careers for Future? 2. What to learn for future careers and how? 3. Which institutes are equipped to facilitate learning for the future career in engineering and technology? 4. Is JKLU a good option? The Youtube video of this presentation is available at: https://youtu.be/Md79MvZhYeg

2. New World &Work
New World
• Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous, Hyper-Connected (VUCAH)
New Work
• Decline in the share of labour as a percentage of GDP.
– 60% of all occupations have at least 30% of activities that are technically
automatable, based on currently demonstrated technologies.
• Employment will grow in
- high-income cognitive and creative jobs - low-income manual occupations,
But it will greatly diminish for
- middle-income routine repetitive jobs.

3. Careers in high demand: 2025 and beyond
• Healthcare
• Engineering and Technology
– IT (Software/AI and ML/IoT/Security/Data Science/AR/Networks…)
– Energy
– Construction
– Mechanical
– Electronics
– Materials
– Waste Management
• Business
