Description
In five years 35% skills that are considered important in today’s workforce will have changed . Moreover, futurist Thomas Frey says that 60% of the jobs 10 years from now have not been invented yet.
So, what should you learn today to be successful on job market? Can current education give knowledge and skills that will be required in 5 or 10 years? How universities adjust to the fast-changing surroundings?
