How will technology and societal development challenge our working life and what impact it will have on our jobs? According to the Future of Jobs report by the World Economic Forum “on average, by 2020, more than a third of the desired core skill sets of most occupations will be comprised of skills that are not yet considered crucial to the job today”. That was back in 2016. Do we know more now in 2019? Are we prepared for what the report predicted? The following female speakers will address the latest trends and comment on expected developments in our daily working routines.
