2. It is 2022 and nowadays the world is facing new challenges.
After the deadline of the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), and the creation of a Post 2015 Agenda, some
problems remain global development priorities, such as
poverty and climate change. The Sustainable development
goals are now the new set of objectives to reach a sustainable
world and these have an important place in the agenda. The
confrontations for natural resources are a possibility,
however, countries are increasing dialogue and promoting the
sharing arrangements.
Due to the power shifts in the international development
systems, the emerging economies are providing job
opportunities for youth around the world. The education
system has changed to satisfy the new profile to get hired.
Let’s find out!

3. It’s 8:00 am and a sunny day is approaching. Working in a
private public partnership gives us satisfaction when we see
that development is not far-fetched. We envision that in the
future the public private partnership is going to be one of, if
not the best evolution of enterprises, because it involves
more stakeholders, and in a good way can be really great and
useful for a better future.
Since 2008 the concept of public private partnership (PPP) is
arising as a new means to reach a sustainable world. This was
born in the World economic forum and they concluded that
the PPP can be the new road for development. The
involvement of the State and non-State actors will increase
the effectiveness to solve myriad crises. Both entities trying to
reach a common goal.

4. With “sustainability” being the constant buzzword and refrain
of modern business, 2022 companies would strive for
sustainability hallmark. The systemic conditions will push
enterprises to reduce their carbon footprints to avoid ecocide.
Companies will also be more socially responsible by
supporting and getting involved with NGOs and communities
through various forms. Corporate Social Responsibility would
be a common trends for private and public corporations
across the world – especially in the emerging economies. This
will help to boost the corporate identity of companies and
assist them market their goods and services.

5. Industries located in the emerging and transitional economies who are
providing opportunities due to their economic growth. For example,
BRICS countries. In the following sectors:
 Travel-tourism
 Environment (Agriculture, Renewables, Green Sector)
 Health Sector
 Educational Sector
 Mining
 Oil and Gas
 Telecommunications
 Engineering
 Civic and Social, Think-Tanks

6.  By offering unending career growth opportunities and maintaining a
culture of innovation, integration and collaboration.
 Building up leadership skills and developing employees’ skills through
incentives like fellowships and other capacity-development programs.
 Flexibility, i.e., offering their employees the liberty to either work virtually
from anywhere or from a physical office. However, the employees who
would crave for this are those who have the ability to work productively
virtually.
 Setting an enviable track record of Corporate Social Responsibility, by
taking care of communities in which they operate.
 By being eco-conscious, i.e., managing finite natural resources
sustainably in the course of their day to day operations.

7.  “Education is a major driving force for human development. It opens
doors to the job market, combats inequality, improves maternal
health, reduces child mortality, fosters solidarity, and promotes
environmental stewardship. Education empowers people with the
knowledge, skills and values they need to build a better world.” -
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
 Education is the first step to become not only a critical thinker but
also to get a decent job!
 The deal education is meant to teach us how to think, not what to
think – how to work, not what to work on. In essence, education
does not teach exactly what to do in certain situations, rather it
teaches us how to think and react on our own we are faced with real
life problems – this way we are able to create solutions to problems
we never encountered while in school.

8. In 2022 education
 New pedagogies – learning by doing should be adopted as a viable method of teaching.
 Combining ICT training with real life projects – as such, making teaching and learning
more fun and enjoyable, and motivating learners to want to acquire more information on
their own.
 ICT-enhanced learning and training – this allows for flexibility and is tailoured toward
every individual student’s need. Students learn seamlessly by technology – and this
makes learning, training, knowledge-sharing and knowledge creation easy and fast in so
many ways.
 ICT-aided learning and training also allows for globalisation and fosters competiveness
in educational system and the knowledge economy.
 Bridging the digital divide between the developed and underdeveloped countries, and
between the urban and rural areas. This will improve access of education in remote
areas. Hence, expanding distance education and free online learning opportunities.
 Making more use of tablet technologies and less use of large scale textbooks, this will
save the cost of printing and distributing textbooks.
 Increasing electronic access to education, this will make learning much more accessible
to students, as they can have access anywhere and any time with their electronic
devices.
 International students to bring their international views. Global citizens to adapt to new
scenarios.

9.  New pedagogy – learning by doing. Working in a team with fellow
students and applying the skills we have learnt while receiving
lectures online or in the classroom in creating solutions for real life
problems. Moreover, although electronic communication and
electronic access to learning materials will become a way of life –
making it easy for us to have access to education anywhere, any
time, while also reducing the cost of textbooks, we would still want
to connect and communicate corporeal with our classmates,
lecturers and professors alike.
 Our perfect job is one that affords us the opportunity to work in a
multicultural team, and the flexibility to work in a physical office, as
well as a virtual office, from anywhere, anytime, with the aid of
connective technologies.
