Education of The Youth For The Jobs of The Future

The world is experiencing a dramatic shift.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is
already here. It’s transforming the way we work, live and learn. The 4IR – which
includes artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing and nanotechnology – will change
the world we know, especially with regards to employment opportunities and
immigrants. The 4IR is the next phase of the Third Industrial Revolution, which included
virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, cognitive augmented intelligence, 3D printing and
manufacturing. It has the potential to create significant challenges for both employers
and employees. Many of these changes are being driven by technology. However,
citizens are also demanding that their governments act more responsibly.
The benefits of the 4IR are immense. Technological advancements can increase
productivity and help businesses be more competitive. However, it will also create new
challenges for employees and candidates in the workforce. The need for labor is
expected to increase in some regions, while others will struggle to attract workforce
candidates. Here are my three recommendations:
Education of the youth for the jobs of the future.
Government intervention is necessary to foster an inclusive culture for educational
institutions. This is especially important for the youth, most of whom are unemployed,
underemployed, or enrolled in two or more unaccredited institutions. Some institutions
do provide quality education, but such institution will do well to find the right courses for
their target audience and make sure they stay relevant.
Many colleges and universities are under-recognized in these countries. An industry
that is well-known as education but is known as “system of quality education” in their

countries is the textile industry. Even though they are industries which have achieved a
scale of production far beyond that of their primary product, many people find it hard to
define their focus.
Education for creativity and as caring citizens of the world.
This is a need that demands new and improved schools to teach a new generation to
thrive in a new world, one that requires more creativity and collaboration. The concept
behind the redesign of schools is to teach creativity and collaboration. Creativity has
been left to the lower level of schools that provide basic education. Creativity is deemed
as a topic in high school and not for elementary students.
The basic and lower-level schools should provide education on the subjects, learning
activities and active learning skills. Colleges and Universities should focus on
developing a new, entrepreneurial culture and these universities should prepare
students to be highly skilled problem solvers. These problem solvers will be needed to
successfully navigate the 4IR.
Smart farming technologies.
Smart construction. Smart manufacturing. Smart city infrastructure. 3. The 4IR is
bringing the US and Europe more disjointed than ever before This disparity in the 4IR
can be attributed to the differences in speed of development of infrastructures, resulting
in inequality in labor income, and political, social and economic development.

While the US and European Union are taking steps toward greater integration, more
market and labor mobility, and more inclusive societies, developing countries are
speeding ahead. 3. There is a pressing need for the 4IR to be globalized, not nation
centric. A study by MIT and Georgetown University concluded that the current “state of
technological readiness” does not apply to all countries equally.
Conclusion
Considering the fact that the global population is growing, and that economic growth
continues to plateau, the prospect of technological unemployment is one of the big
topics of debate. There is one area in which we have shown a greater degree of
empirical support than others – finance. Many, including Mark Zuckerberg, see
automation and robots as the big beneficiaries of this new economy. Even technologists
see huge potential for automation – the technology and machines that drive it. There
are indeed many reasons why automation will not replace every job in the near future.
Not every job can be replicated by machines. The key for future technologies will be
understanding humans better and working with them in new ways.
