Future Work: Your Learning World & Addressing Skills Gap in an Evolving Environment
When: Tuesday, 27th August
Time: 11:30am - 12:30pm AEST
Cost: Free
A must-attend discussion with our expert members and long-term SiA practitioners, Paul Houghton and Larry Quick, in which we will begin to tease out the global immediate and emergent conditions within future work.
Traditional learning was built for a world that has evolved and for conventional educational institutions to keep pace demands transformation beyond most of their means. As technology accelerates the pace of change and opportunities for learning it is imperative that people take ownership of their learning experiences and that individuals recognise their role and take responsibility for learning in their learning world.
In the session Larry Quick will discuss the impact of Your Learning World, introducing concepts from his paper Tertiary Learning Futures: Transformation Now! report and new book ‘Owning Your Future Work’ to be released in 2023 through Simon and Schuster.
A learning world is populated by family, friends, community, work, school, and media. All of these are drivers of learning. They have been throughout human history.
Paul Houghton will discuss his recent Curtin University’s Future of Work Institute report: Up-skilling for Future Work , responding to Skills Gaps in Invisible Work. This is the second report in the Future of Work in the Digital Age Report Series and draws on an understanding of digitalisation. It identifies the best way to tackle skills gaps in the light of the pace and complexity of change, with a particular focus on the relatively neglected area of up-skilling within jobs, as opposed to re-skilling as people change jobs.
Paul addresses number of other features for a modern learning environment (known as the adaptive learning model) including discussion the potential impacts of:
Micro learning,
Micro qualifications
Content curation and discovery,
Talent tracking, and
Passports and portfolios.
This expert session will provide a platform to discuss issues like:
Our learning worlds - the importance of alternate learning for robust personal, professional and social-economic development;
What to expect about the future of learning and development (L&D);
Addressing skills gaps - up-skilling v re-skilling;
The Rapid Adaptive Practice (RAP) Model;
Ideas on how to develop a strong organisational learning culture; and
Peer to Peer learning- creating collaborative learning environments.
