AE Trainer

According to analyses from Deloitte, there will be 3.5 million job openings in manufacturing over the next decade but only enough skilled labor to fill less than half of them.


A new Forum report, The Future of Jobs, looks at the employment, skills and workforce strategy for the future.

The report asked chief human resources and strategy officers from leading global employers wha the current shifts mean, specifically for employment, skills and recruitment across industries and geographies.„AI is likely to have a major impact on the workforce of the future. One of the ways companies are likely to have a role to play in the Fourth Industrial Revolution is by their approach to workforce development and training.(…) We talk about the Fourth Industrial Revolution as something happening in the future but there are workforce training issues today. Talent will matter more than technology moving forward. Companies need to both have a role in develop talent and retrain their workforce.” (Amy Dacey, https://www.salesforce.com/blog/2018/01/how-companies-can-become-society-change-agents.html, access 15.08.2018)

These developments will transform the way we live, and the way we work. Some jobs will disappear, others will grow and jobs that don’t even exist today will become commonplace. What is certain is that the future workforce will need to align its skillset to keep pace.
