21st-CENTURY JOBS: TRAINING EMPLOYEES FOR A DIGITAL AGE
As automation, digitization, and advances in AI continue to disrupt the way we work, the skills needed to succeed in this new era are in short supply, creating a new global battle for talent. It’s more vital than ever for companies to invest in “upskilling” existing employees. With what toolkits do we arm current workers so they can compete and flourish in this new terrain? How can companies train future talent and build skills through real-world experience? What can leaders do to ensure that underserved demographics get the skills needed to create long-lasting careers?

Zoe Johnsen
Zoe Johnsen began her mining career in 2008 as a trainee operator.
After a few setbacks in her training, Zoe was determined to improve the quality of training.
“The crew supervisors, training department and I implemented important changes to the trainee training program so that all trainees after me could receive higher quality training,” said Zoe.
“Now, before being authorised as competent, it is necessary to complete time observing from the passenger seat of every piece of loading equipment. Both myself and (colleague) Don are proud to have accomplished a meaningful change for trainees.”
Zoe’s initiative resulted in her being promoted to a trainer/assessor role where she has coordinated a training plan for women to help them transition to a new working environment.
“Something that is deeply meaningful to me and others in my circle is spreading awareness around the LGBTQIA+ community. I started volunteering my time with the LGBTQIA+ youth and began mentoring youths outside of the support groups.
“I endeavour to be a voice for all women in mining and I represent the capability of Thiess’s women with pride when I wear my uniform.
“Through my contribution to the development of training programs, I hope to better the education and upskilling offered to women in order to enrich their careers and the wider industry.
“By making training more comprehensive and imparting more knowledge, it aims to encourage the long-term retention of more women. By sharing the journey that I have been on throughout my career and my achievements, I hope to empower women to seek parity and opportunity.”

SUNY Oswego’s Upskilling in a Digital World event connected students with alumni who shared the skills that are highly sought after in today’s business and technology sectors. The alumni presenters shared how they utilize data analytics, robotic process automation and cybersecurity every day in their workplace as they advance in their careers.
At the event, participating students received information about how they can work at their own pace toward obtaining these valuable skills at no cost through the college’s subscription to LinkedIn Learning. LinkedIn Learning provides a customized learning experience that features instructional content that builds upon what students learn in their SUNY Oswego courses and helps prepare them for the workplace in a way the business and technology sectors understand and need.

Exercise Viper 2011
Exercise Viper is a combined arms exercise that took place in June 2011, and involved over 400 soldiers and officers, and over 100 vehicles, providing the logistics, medical, artillery, communications and engineering units required to complete the exercise.
Whether firing small arms, detonating 200kg of explosives, or using LAVs in the field - Exercise Viper allows NZ Army to plan and conduct training scenarios that in turn allow soldiers and officers to access a range of experiences under various conditions, environments, and time requirements - so that New Zealand's Army remains upskilled, and ready to go.
As a sector all about people, Travel & Tourism’s recovery is contingent on having adequate and skilled labour. Shifting trends and skills requirements require the sector attracts, retains, and upskills its workforce and equips teams to better understand and live out sustainability, diversity, and inclusion goals. How can businesses and destinations alike deeply engage with communities and maintain their authenticity, whilst upskilling their talent to enhance their competitiveness and advance the agenda towards sustainability, diversity, and inclusion?

Across emerging and industrialized nations, the pandemic that has shuttered economies around the world has also devastated education systems. Some 1.5 billion students — nearly 90 percent of all primary, secondary, and tertiary learners worldwide — are no longer able to go to school physically. The effect has been dramatic and disruptive as educators scramble to put in place workable, short-term solutions for remote teaching and learning, particularly in emerging markets where students and schools face additional funding and infrastructure-related challenges.
While each level of education faces its unique challenges, it is the higher education segment which may eventually trigger a learning revolution by necessity. Universities are distinguishing in that their students are both mature enough to manage online job rigors and technically savvy enough to access new platforms. The real problem lies with the organizations they have registered to. Will conventional universities focused on a campus adapt by selecting the best technologies and strategies to educate and engage their students? The unfolding successes and defeats will give us all a clearer understanding of what's possible.
Video-conferencing tools such as Zoom and Webinars are throwing a lifeline on universities right now. However, lecturers are still struggling to maintain the same depth of engagement with the students in a classroom setting that they could have. We need to find solutions — and quickly — to prevent a dip in the standard of the education we offer. Online educational platforms like Coursera, an IFC client with a global reach, can play a valuable role by leveraging their online program design experience, software platform preference, and digital marketing to create the best content with or for traditional players.
Despite the online sector only comprising a tiny fraction of the global higher education market of $2.2 trillion — less than 2%, according to market research company HolonIQ — the industry is ripe for disruption. Since of COVID-19, students' demand for online services would undoubtedly increase. Just before the pandemic, decreases in enrolment for campus-based programs and related rises in the use of their online courses were seen by many universities. For COVID-19 we are seeing how disruptors of yesterday will become the lifeguards of today. Although traditional institutions once considered online education as a threat, they have come to rescue them.
Recent months have seen the adoption of online solutions unprecedented. Educators are introducing a 'first aid' approach in the short term by transitioning completely from in-person to remote teaching, a change that was forced upon them by abrupt compulsory closures of campuses. Yet they soon understand that remote learning in the long road is just a baby step experiment to providing online education that has been developed as such, including successful student engagement strategies and teacher preparation. Some of the collaborations that have sparked off between universities, online educational firms and technology providers can continue beyond the pandemic.
This will fashion a long overdue and welcome reconstruction of our educational systems as difficult and frustrating a period as it is. In a way, the pandemic has been a great leveller, offering a clearer understanding of the shortcomings and limitations in our existing education systems to all stakeholders (educators, learners, policy-makers and society at large) in developed and developing countries. It has underscored how indispensable it is for our populations to be digitally literate to function and progress in a world in which social distancing, greater digitalization of services and more digitally-centered communications may increasingly become the norm. More importantly, COVID-19 causes us to question deep-rooted conceptions of when, where, and how we deliver education, the position of universities and colleges, the importance of lifelong learning, and the distinction we draw between conventional and non-traditional learners.
This pandemic has also made people realize how dependent on so-called low-skilled workers we are to maintain our lives. It's these staff who are on the front lines through shutdowns, lockdowns, curfews, working several shifts to ensure production and provide for our basic needs. Automation will start eating into these workers over time. Although services will always be provided by low-skilled workers, higher skill levels will be required for most new jobs. In this rapidly changing world being able to reskill and upskill is not only a necessity but an economic imperative.
COVID-19 has struck our education system and shaken it to its core like a lightning bolt. Just as the First Industrial Revolution forged the education system of today, we can expect to emerge from COVID-19 with a new kind of educational model.

When it comes to today's businesses, adopting new technology is essential, yet many senior executives are hesitant to begin on the road of digital transformation.
Some business executives are afraid to fully embrace digital initiatives because they are concerned about the effect on the budget, deterring staff and consumers or because they don't feel secure enough in their digital knowledge to make the transition. These impediments are simply fallacies, and the digital transformation of a corporation provides several advantages.
These myths regarding digital transformation have been dispelled to help you make a better-informed choice about what's best for your company:
●Small businesses can't benefit from digital transformation.
The advantages of incorporating digital technology into small firms are often unclear. A startup company might benefit from digital transformation by working hard to make itself more discoverable. According to our Innovation Survey, 13 per cent of participating organisations said that digital technology's most significant advantage was helping them grow and retain customers.
In addition, as flexible working becomes more common, cloud-based solutions make it possible for smaller organisations to accommodate workers who may opt to clock in remotely or work outside of usual business hours.
●For IT and IT organisations, digital transformation is only relevant.
In many cases, senior managers who don't understand the potential of digital technology are oblivious of the benefits it can bring to their business—some with a view that it only pertains to the technology and IT sectors. Still, it's helpful in the overwhelming bulk of industries and will impact them all in time.
Consider the bands used for radiofrequency identification (RFID). There is a strong chance you haven't heard of this technology. However, it can be utilised in hotel room keys and transportation tickets and many payment methods.
●An organisation's digital transformation may be completed in a single step.
A worldwide lockdown had a rippling effect on business and the primary way it offered goods and services, but most firms found a way to get back on their feet. These experiences led to a dawning realisation: An effective data transformation process is more than simply converting a manual to an automated workflow. It involves continuous, ongoing efforts, backed by training, and in sync with the constantly changing expectations of workers.
As a result of this awareness, businesses' recruiting and planning processes have undergone significant modifications. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities for software developers and engineers will increase by 22 per cent by 2029, a rate much higher than the overall career growth rate of 4 per cent. Digital transformation efforts are far from complete, as shown by the fact that many firms are actively seeking to expand their workforces in anticipation of new technologies.
DevOps processes, including version control, continuous integration, automated testing, and open source technologies, will be a critical component of future innovations and job growth.
●In the end, digital transformation and digitisation are the same things.
As a non-technical person, it's easy to confuse terms like "digital transformation" with "digitisation", for example. Taking a process and making it simpler, quicker, or cheaper is the goal of digitisation. It is re-creating the same process in a new way. Aside from new technology being implemented that may improve current assets, digital transformation creates new value for consumers.
Even if digitisation may make things easier inside a corporation, digital transformation may open up new markets and produce goods that appeal to new clients.
●It's all IT's fault; no one else has to be concerned.
It's a prevalent misconception that the IT department is solely responsible for the whole digital transformation process. Our Innovation Survey found that a lack of support from top management was the most significant impediment to digital transformation.
Having a board member on the team for digital transformation is an excellent approach, as is recruiting a dedicated team for this purpose.
●As a result of digital transformation, business metrics are not relevant.
In the past, firms rushed to develop their dotcoms since it was considered trendy. Until one day, it wasn't there anymore. Because everyone else is doing it, or because it's good PR, or because their kids, or the analysts, want them to, a startling number of CEOs want to go digital.
These are all the wrong reasons to switch to a digital platform. The digital transformation process must positively influence sales, profit, cost, customer engagement, retention, or repeat purchasing. Because without knowing what metrics are being changed and how much, the entire procedure is a waste of time.
●When embarking on a digital transformation journey, it is possible to go too fast.
As a result of this, there is a widespread belief that digital transformation is too hazardous. To avoid upsetting the apple cart or rushing into the fray, many firms chose a systematic approach to digital transformation. Cutting-edge firms like Netflix and Tesla then developed, proving to many corporations the need of embracing digital trends and methods.
With the pandemic outbreak, the cautious approach to data transformation services was shown to no longer be sufficient.
The benefit of time is not accessible in marketplaces where rivals are constantly striving to match (or better yet, predict) the next invention. For example, in the automobile business, some major corporations are currently fighting against tenacious startups like Rivian. Even though its trucks haven't even hit the road yet, the electric vehicle and automotive technology startup just filed for an IPO and is seeking a price of up to $80 billion. Because it spotted a gap in the market and took risks to fill and disrupt it, the firm may eventually compete with Tesla.
No firm can afford to disregard the influence of new technologies on its operations anymore; no advantage can be considered secure for the foreseeable future. It's no longer enough for businesses to accept new technology carefully or wait to see how they affect others. They must embrace change and move quickly to stay competitive.
Robots and algorithms might indeed lead to the abolition of certain occupations. A more productive approach is to look at AI and other sophisticated technology as tools that can be used with human labour instead of seeing them as direct competitors.
Humans' inherent capacity for solving large, complicated issues may be enhanced by digital technology, which can generate new career categories. Re-engineering positions in a business, developing re-training programs and upskilling and re-energizing the current workforce are likely necessary for leaders.
To put it simply,
You're already a part of the digital revolution. Start preparing your company using data transformation tools if you haven't done so already since the future will be pretty different from what you've been used to. Be able to tell reality from fiction before jumping on the digital transformation bandwagon so you can make informed decisions. Getting rid of these five misconceptions would be beneficial.
