Seven out of ten people would change jobs in the future because of automation. New occupations will require specific skills.
A recent study conducted by Pearson, one of the most important learning and teaching services company, predicted that seven out of ten people would change jobs in the future because of automation. This redesign and development of new occupations will require specific skills, and edX is already offering training in these fields.
The Pearson research “Future of Skills” (accomplished with the help of experts from Nesta and Oxford Martin School) was used to select eight different courses based on the forecast of what skills future jobs will need. edX offers these programmes with the support of Pearson instructors, group discussions and professional assessment services.
