21st Century Work: Career-Readiness Isn't What It Used To Be

21st Century Work: Career-Readiness Isn't What It Used To Be | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"

"The way we think about work is changing.

Thinking of jobs, careers, and pay is–by some–being replaced with the idea of work, relationships, and meaning. Technology and the resulting connectivity are a part of this. In the 21st century, we all have personal “brands”–digital footprints that precede and proceed us, leaving a record of our interactions and ideas for anyone to see."

Beth Dichter's insight:

How do we work today? What skills are needed? As we continue to move to a more global economy what are the skills that our students should have, and how do they differ from what we might call 20th century jobs?

This post begins to explore some of these questions, and provides access to a slideshare called Unlocking the Future of Work: Creating 21st Century Organizations that  are Innovative, Collaborative and Global. As you read through the slides you may find yourself questioning some of her ideas. You may also find new insights into how work is changing, which may lead you to make shifts in work you do with your students.
