Whose Job is at Risk?

Traditional jobs are fast becoming redundant, while new specialised ones are quickly being created. It may be due to technological transformation, changing business models or even a shrinking global market. In the new normal, skills acquisition will have to increase in frequency while working people will progressively experience more transitions in their employment lifecycles – a working person may be in a multinational corporation today, a small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) tomorrow, and opt to freelance in the near future.

We don’t have control over these external factors, but what can we do to keep up with this new norm, especially when some of our jobs may be at risk of becoming obsolete? As the economy transforms and shows signs of picking up, where will the exciting opportunities be for working people like us?
Join us at the Future Jobs, Skills and Training Forum 2018 where you will gain insights from thought leaders and industry experts on the future jobs, future skills and training that will give you an edge in tomorrow’s employment game.

• As a first time in the Labour Movement history, the forum will feature a do-together effort involving the Labour Movement’s expanded network of affiliated unions and professional guilds, SMEs, freelancers and self-employed, as well as strategic partners (tripartite partners, consultancy firms and institutes of higher learning) to discuss the future and inspire collaborative action.
• Tune in to our distinguished panellists as they discuss action plans that can be adopted to transit workers from at-risk jobs to in-demand jobs, and what changes must be made to learning models to enable the acquisition of skills which are relevant and applicable in the future of work.

Time: 9:30am – 12:30pm (Registration and light refreshments from 8:30am)
