Careers Presentation For Year 12 StudentsPaul Herring
The document discusses new job clusters and skills needed for the "Second Machine Age". It notes that digital skills demand has increased 212% in recent years. Key skills needed include both hard STEM skills and soft people skills like critical thinking. Future jobs will require skills like computational thinking and virtual collaboration. The job clusters with the strongest future potential are caregivers, informers, and technologists. Investing in STEM education is important to develop the workforce needed for these changes. Ethics will also be vital as machines take on more responsibilities.
This document discusses trends in the future of work and organizations. Key points include:
1) Technology such as smartphones, artificial intelligence, and big data are driving changes in how work gets done.
2) Social shifts around an aging population and increased connectivity through mobile devices are also impacting work.
3) As work becomes more flexible and can be done from anywhere, organizations will need to adapt their structures to harness these changes and talent wherever it resides. This may involve moving from traditional companies to more open ecosystems.
4) High performance in the future will require organizations to have diverse and location-independent talent, fluid roles, peer learning, and data-driven continuous improvement. Leadership will need to facilitate networks and

1) The film Good Bye, Lenin! tells the story of Alex Kerner and his family in East Germany as they cope with his mother's heart attack during the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification of Germany.
2) To avoid another heart attack from shock, Alex convinces his family and friends to pretend that East Germany still exists to comfort his recovering mother.
3) The film uses the family's experience to comment on how ordinary citizens had no control over the political changes happening in Germany at the time and explores themes of falsified reality and the transition from communism to capitalism.

Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs) allow policyholders to invest their premiums in a fund that invests in stocks and bonds, with the value of the policy based on the performance of the selected fund. ULIPs provide transparency into where premiums are invested and how returns are calculated, but also carry investment risk unlike traditional policies. IRDA regulations provide guidance around terms, premiums, charges and other features intended to increase transparency and protections for ULIP customers.

A widening IT skills gap is preventing many companies from cashing in on digital’s bright promise, casting a dark cloud over the global economy. Here’s how business leaders can attract, develop and retain the talent needed to succeed in today’s digital era.
Tasks, Teams and Talent for the Future of WorkMartha Russell
Computation enables routine and predictable tasks to be automated; it leverages massive amounts of data to extract patterns, turn them into rules and apply those rules. Computer programs not only capture the “how” of human tasks but also the “what” of complex tasks. In a few decades, we’ve gone from machines that can execute a plan to machines that can plan. We've gone from computers as servants to computers as collaborators and team members. The expanding capabilities and applications of intelligent machines call for a more sophisticated understanding of the relationships between people and AI, especially as concerns the future of work for humans.
Around the world, organizations seek open channels and compete aggressively to recruit the best and the brightest minds to inspire, invent and implement a digital transformation – toward the Trillion Sensor Economy, toward the Internet of Things, AI-driven services, and a culture of abundance. Productive citizens, high performing workers and a fluid exchange of information are all essential for a high performance future. Preparations for this future must accommodate new organizational structures, evolving skill requirements and differences in what work means to diverse groups of people.
Jobs for the Future: Using Technology to Empower in the 21st Century EconomyTess Gilman Posner
There are trends that are significantly impacting work and the economy. The pace of change is increasing and the skills we need to be successful in the new economy are evolving. Unfortunately, if we continue with some of the current trends, some people stand to benefit from the way that work is evolving, and others could be excluded. Read more about the future of work trends and how technology can be an equalizer and begin to present new opportunities for those that are excluded.

Help Wanted: “T-Shaped”
Skills to Meet 21st Century Needs
A handful of students within the busi-
ness and engineering schools at San
Jose State University in California are
headed for careers in service-related
industries with an expanded set of
marketable skills. A specially devised
curriculum shared by the two schools
includes instruction in such areas as
service design and computer science,
as well as soft skills electives including
leadership and communication.
The university’s goal is to help stu-
dents develop an array of skills that are
highly prized by organizations in service-
related fields, explains Stephen Kwan at
the university’s College of Business. For
example, he says, “students in the pro-
gram learn how information technolo-
gies can be used to create innovations
within all types of service companies.”
Kwan says students possessing
such versatile skills will enjoy a com-
petitive advantage in their pursuit of
promising careers in the fast-growing
service sector, which represents some
80 percent of the U.S. gross domestic

San Jose State is not alone in offering
this interdisciplinary approach, called
the Service Science, Management, and
Engineering (SSME) program. In fact,
it is one of more than 250 universities
that provide SSME-related courses
thanks in large part to IBM.
It was Big Blue that developed the
SSME curriculum in 2003 and that for
the past five years has helped uni-
versity faculties institute it as part
of the IBM Academic Initiative—a
program that helps accredited schools
throughout the world develop a more
competitive workforce. To date, the
expansive IBM initiative has helped
more than 8,500 faculties at 4,000
institutions teach 40,000 courses to
more than 2.5 million students, states
Director Kevin Faughnan.
Indeed, a growing chorus of busi-
ness and academic leaders is seeking
to ensure that tomorrow’s graduates
possess a broad repertoire of compe-
tencies that extend well beyond IT.
“Graduates who want to compete in
the global economy need to be innova-
tive and entrepreneurial, with a focus
on value creation,” says Debra Van
Opstal, senior vice president of programs
and policy with the Washington, D.C.-
based Council on Competitiveness.
“They also need leadership skills and
the flexibility to adapt quickly as

leaders working to ensure U.S. pros-

America is facing a shortage of tech talent as demand for skilled programmers and developers outstrips supply. Job openings in tech fields have increased 60% in the past two years while the number of computer science graduates has declined. This talent gap exists across many states, particularly in tech hubs like California, New Jersey, Texas, New York, and Massachusetts, where there are multiple job openings for every graduate. The shortage is fueling intense competition for skilled workers and increased salaries in the tech sector.
Future of Ed Tech for Executive EducationDouglas Ng
How do emerging technologies impact the future of business education? Universities are no longer the sole arbiter of knowledge and must now compete on experience (even if it's digital).
The document discusses challenges and opportunities facing Silicon Valley's economy and workforce through 2020. It recommends developing policies and institutions to support education, research, infrastructure, and collaboration between sectors. This will help build capacity to address technological change and transition workers to new skills. However, the region may face a shortage of skilled workers by 2016 and needs to increase educational attainment and cross-training to meet projected workforce needs.

However, the region may face a shortage of skilled workers by 2016 and needs to increase educational attainment and cross-training to meet projected workforce needs.
This document discusses a career pathway model for workforce development with a focus on manufacturing. It presents a cyclic pathway that begins with generating interest in careers, develops skills through education programs, and leads to job placement and growth. Three key parts of the pathway are discussed: generating interest through branding and early intervention programs to change misperceptions of manufacturing; developing skills through academic and hands-on training programs; and supporting job placement and growth through private sector engagement, economic development policies, and ensuring ongoing job availability. CEOs for Cities is positioned to help cities implement this pathway model through initiatives like City Dividends, Brain Trust Summits, and a Workforce Development Indicators Dashboard.

Literacy Technology Community_The Importance of Smart Technology in Workforce...Jan Stephens PhD
This document discusses the importance of technology access for adult education and workforce training. It notes that access to technology is now essential for full participation in 21st century education and training opportunities. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) supports using technology to improve teaching, learning, and system efficiencies. However, many adults still lack basic literacy and job skills. Expanding access to technology and online learning resources through a "bring your own device" model could help address these issues by allowing literacy instruction and workforce training to reach more learners.
The document discusses how communities need a collaborative approach between all stakeholders like educators, employers, government, and community groups to help citizens find good jobs and employers find qualified employees. It suggests communities that ensure their citizens have access to good jobs and engaged employees will prosper, while those that don't will decline. It recommends five foundation resources be implemented at all education levels, including experiential career learning programs, online career exploration tools, electronic portfolios, course planning systems, and online networking between students and employers. This whole-community approach is needed for communities to retain talent and prosper in an era of rapid technological change and talent shortages.
The document discusses the value of apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and customized training programs. It notes that these programs help develop employable skills, allow students to earn wages and college credits, and help companies by providing customized training and building worker loyalty. The document also highlights concerns about the number of students who do not complete 4-year degrees and growing demand for middle-skills jobs, and argues that apprenticeships and vocational education can help address skills gaps.
Connect with Tech: Engaging staff in professional learning for learning techn...mackas
This document outlines six steps for engaging staff with learning technology: 1) Develop a culture that values technology for learning, 2) Set clear expectations for how staff will use technology, 3) Make technology training personal and relevant to individual staff interests, 4) Connect technology use to curriculum learning goals, 5) Give staff dedicated time for technology professional development, and 6) Make technology training an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. The overall goal is to focus on how technology can enhance learning rather than just acquiring new devices.

This document introduces a technology solution that connects individuals to tailored career, education and business opportunities through structured profiling and matching. It notes that consumers are demanding personalized products and services, and that social networks present an opportunity to target vast audiences. The technology captures individual data to build profiles and match people to relevant jobs, franchises, education and products based on their skills, interests and other attributes. This provides a complementary revenue-generating service for social networks by helping members and expanding functionality.
The document discusses the importance of literacy and numeracy skills for individuals and the economy in the 21st century workplace. It notes that adult basic education can no longer be separate from occupational training. Several statistics are presented showing declining literacy levels and growing job vacancy rates requiring postsecondary education. Challenges to completing postsecondary programs are discussed. The need to better align workforce development programs and increase support for adult basic education is emphasized.

OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

2. Elemental Economics - Mineral demand.pdfNeal Brewster
After this second you should be able to: Explain the main determinants of demand for any mineral product, and their relative importance; recognise and explain how demand for any product is likely to change with economic activity; recognise and explain the roles of technology and relative prices in influencing demand; be able to explain the differences between the rates of growth of demand for different products.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

“Our economy is making an
unprecedented transition into
high-skilled, information-based
industries. This has created a
disconnect between the jobs
that are being created and the
current skills of many
workers.”

technology careers
- Employment guarantees
- Pricing structures attempt to increase

- Regardless: Still expensive, difficult, highly
selective
