Assignment introduction
“The combination of the ongoing COVID-19-related global recession and increased
automation in the future of work has led to a large-scale disruption of the jobs and
skills landscape. While previous generations of talent could expect linear career
progression and engagement in formal learning that decreases over time, the
workforce of the future will be required to rapidly learn and relearn new skills as
reskilling, upskilling and redeployment define the ‘new normal’ in the future of work”.
