Course description
FutureWorkX: A 21st Century Workplace Lab
It shouldn’t be surprising to observe that we live in a rapidly changing world requiring rapidly changing skills, if we are to happily exist in our professional and social environments. The very definition of work has changed, for many of us significantly in our lifetimes! The idea of a single job - or even a single career – that is sustained throughout our working life has been almost completely superseded but the need to navigate conditions of change, uncertainty and lifelong learning. These settings define workplaces in the 21st century.
This course – FutureWorkx – sets out to help navigate these interesting settings, drawing on the recent ground-breaking frameworks developed by global bodies such as the United Nations (UN), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Economic Forum (WEF).
FutureWorkx synthesises these frameworks into a cohesive program of awareness building that culminates in you crafting your own distinct and inherently unique workplace identity. This identity statement allows you to give evidence of your competencies, literacies and attributes as these are utilised in current thinking. Armed with your statements of competency and the evidence you draw on to support them, you can map out your workskills development plan, to serve as a checklist of your pursuit of new skills to serve your work direction and your quest for lifelong learning.
