About a decade ago, the world was a
different place and so also the way we do our work. Some jobs that are high
paying now were not in existence.
According to reports by the World Economic Forum, 35% of the skills that are considered important in today’s
workforce will have changed in five years from now and 65% of children entering primary school today will end up
in new jobs not yet on the radar (circa 16 years from now).
New jobs requiring new skill set will be created; some existing jobs will disappear while others will grow in
relevance.
The rise of the internet, smartphones, increasing connectivity, and innovation are among the factors that make the
lives we lived 10 – 15 years ago seem like a distant history, yet, experts have argued that the changes we are
seeing now will pale in significance to what will come in the new phase of innovation. FastTrack to another 10
years into the future, we are guaranteed more changes that will not only impact how we do our work but also how
we live our lives.
