The world of work is changing faster and more drastically than at perhaps any other time in recent history. According to research from the World Economic Forum, 35% of the skills necessary to thrive in a job today will be different five years from now.
職場世界發(fā)展越來越快,可能比近代歷史任何時期都要猛烈。根據(jù)世界經(jīng)濟論壇的調(diào)查研究,如今可以作為職場必備的制勝技能,其中有35%會與將來五年的完全不一樣。
How can we prepare for a workplace of the future if we’re not quite sure what it will look like? What skills or expertise should students focus on acquiring today if they want to succeed tomorrow? We spoke with five experts from the Forum’s Young Global Leaders community to get their opinion.
要是我們不太確定未來的職場是什么樣的,我們應該如何做好準備?學生們?nèi)绻胍谖磥砺殘鋈〉贸晒Γ敲磻搶W⒄莆漳切┘寄芑驅(qū)iL?本文編輯對五位來自世界經(jīng)濟論壇中的青年領袖進行了采訪,詢問他們對于這些問題的想法。
Companies will want soft skills – so we must focus on teaching them公司機構(gòu)都需要軟技能——因此我們必須專注這方面的培訓

A child today can expect to change jobs at least seven times over the course of their lives – and five of those jobs don’t exist yet.
如今的年輕人,他們?nèi)松兄辽贂衅叽胃淖児ぷ鞯臅r候——并且其中有五種工作已經(jīng)不存在了。
To get a better understanding of the skills needed in these jobs of the future, we conducted a country-wide survey of almost 900 companies. The results confirmed that soft skills – such as teamwork, knowledge of digital tools, an understanding of rules and regulations, responsibility and commitment – are the most relevant for the future.
為了更好地了解未來的工作必備技能,我們進行了一次全國性的調(diào)查,調(diào)查了幾近900家公司機構(gòu)。調(diào)查的結(jié)果為以上了觀點提供了佐證:軟技能——比如團隊合作,數(shù)字工具的知識,對規(guī)章制度的認識,責任感與承諾——都是未來職場最需要的。
How can we teach our children these skills? In Argentina, we’re revolutionizing our curriculum to ensure they’re being taught across all subjects. And in Buenos Aires, we’ve introduced innovative classes like coding and entrepreneurship.
那么我們是如何教授孩子們這些技能的?在阿根廷,我們正在改革我們的課程安排,確保他們在學習所有科目的時候都有涉及到這些內(nèi)容。在布宜諾斯艾利斯,我們已經(jīng)引進創(chuàng)新的課堂,例如編程與企業(yè)家精神的培養(yǎng)。
But the revolution extends beyond the school gates. For example, we’ve created neighbourhood youth clubs where children can continue learning these skills after the school day is over. We’re also ensuring that each student completes a 200-hour professional practice course, so they can apply all the skills they’re learning to the world of work.
不僅在校內(nèi),此場改革也延伸到了校門之外。例如,我們創(chuàng)建了鄰里青年俱樂部,孩子們可以在放學后繼續(xù)學習這些技能。我們同時也在確保每一個學生都能完成為期200小時的職業(yè)培訓課程,因此他們就可以把所有學習的技能運用到職場當中。
Data literacy with a strong dose of empathy極具同理心的數(shù)據(jù)素養(yǎng)
Belinda Parmar, Chief Executive Officer, The Empathy Business
Belinda Parmar,“同理心企業(yè)”的首席執(zhí)行官
Data is one of the driving forces of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. But sometimes, when we perceive the world through data-driven models, it can become harder to see the humanity behind the numbers. Technology thus has the potential to erode our sense of empathy.
數(shù)據(jù)是第四次產(chǎn)業(yè)革命的其中一股驅(qū)動力量。可是有時候,當我們通過以數(shù)據(jù)為驅(qū)動的模型去觀察世界,我們就很難看到這些數(shù)字背后的人性。最終,科技就潛在地侵蝕我們換位思考的意識。
The great challenge of the next 10 years for corporations and institutions will be to rebuild the empathy that we’ve lost. Companies will be looking for leaders who are able to help them do that – people with a trio of technical, linguistic and mathematical skills, who can make sense of the torrents of information that will continue to emerge.
將來的10年,公司和機構(gòu)最大的改變,就會在于重建我們早已丟失的同理心。公司機構(gòu)將會尋找能夠幫助它們做到這件事情的領導者——具備技術(shù)、語言及數(shù)學三大能力,他能夠清楚理解信息激流將會繼續(xù)迸發(fā)。
This will require a new kind of “data literacy”, which will be in short supply, and therefore one of the most important skills of tomorrow.
這就需要新型的“數(shù)據(jù)素養(yǎng)”,將會供不應求,是將來最重要的技能之一。
