It advises people to reflect on their unique values and skills, and to respond to challenges by turning them into opportunities to learn and adapt. Employers will increasingly want workers who can think creatively, communicate well, and work in teams in an environment of continuous change.

who think for themselves, use their imagination,
communicate well and can work in teams, and
who can adapt to continuous change.”
