AI has joined the Workplace. Jobs and roles will change and so do the skills required.
50% of all employees will need reskilling or upskilling by 2025, according to the World Economic Forum.
Higher Education and Corporate Leaders have a crucial role together in this initial transformational phase but also in an on-going capacity to offer learning and development at the speed and scale demanded.
At the same time, new tools create big opportunities for innovation in training, education, and knowledge sharing.
