Key Takeaways
“The Future of Jobs and Jobs Training” considers what the world of work might look like in a future filled with automation and artificial intelligence. Pew Research’s attempt to present an array of findings on this topic involves a broad, nonscientific, “canvassing of experts” of workforce development researchers and industry experts. Five themes emerged from this canvassing. These included three “hopeful themes”: educational training ecosystems will evolve to meet changing needs, learners must master 21st-century skills, and new credentialing systems will arise for internet-based, self-directed learning. There were also two “concerning themes”: training and learning systems will not meet workforce needs by 2026, and a combination of millions more people and millions fewer jobs will define economic and workforce changes in global society for the foreseeable future.
