Skills and lifelong learning are essential for economies to prosper, individuals to thrive and access decent work, and societies and communities to grow fairer and more resilient. Continuously skilling, reskilling and upskilling people of all ages provides immense value to society and helps to overcome social, environmental, and economic disruptions.
The Global Skills Forum brings together representatives from around the world to take part in a conversation about how to shape skills development in our ever-changing economies and societies.

3:35-3:55 PM THE RISE OF THE DESIGN APPRENTICE
Businesses are facing the steepest labor shortages in a generation with over 11 million open jobs in the U.S. One solution: the rise of Design Apprentice programs across public and private sector organizations. This new reskilling and upskilling mechanism is creating more inclusive and equitable pathways to the global workforce by combining kinesthetic and action learning methods in product, service, fashion, sound and user experience design. We’ll explore how the great global reset is shaping a new generation of designers with STEAMD (science, tech, arts, math and design) super powers as a global force for good.

Our understanding of work is changing fast. Whereas once we could expect to work in the same employment or industry, our careers are now far more flexible. Automation, outsourcing, gender balance and the need to upskill all greatly impact our careers.
Industrialised societies are facing challenges unforeseen a generation ago. And while working hours become less predictable, productivity expectations keep increasing. So what lies ahead for Australian workplaces and workforces? And will we be able to retain a healthy work-life balance?
Join the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Glyn Davis AC, and Australia’s foremost experts on workplace culture and development for a panel discussion, then network with fellow University of Melbourne alumni.

CGI 2024 Annual Meeting
Spotlight Session: No One Left Behind: Bridging Digital Divides and Education Inequities
Technology enables connection, education, health, and economic growth—but not for everyone. The divide between those who have access to technology and quality education and those who don’t remains a global challenge and has potential to widen further with increasing natural disasters and conflicts, and as advances in AI impact workforces around the globe. Extending access to technology and digital upskilling on the continent of Africa, where a rapidly growing youth population must be able to participate fully in the economy and society, is particularly urgent. This session will explore innovative solutions and strategies for bridging the digital divide and addressing education inequities, especially in underserved communities. Addressing these challenges will require concerted efforts from governments, businesses, non-profit organizations, and communities, so we can all reap the benefits of unlocking technology’s full potential to empower individuals, reduce poverty, promote social inclusion, and foster innovation.

PICTURED: Panel: The people behind the push - the most decisive decade for whole-of-
society action

people and their labor. For a green workforce to thrive, we’ll need to create the conditions for prosperous
employment, a safe working environment and the protection of worker rights.
• What measures must we take to build an economy which tackles the climate crisis as well as economic,
gender, and racial disparity?
• How do we deliver on the promise of green jobs and upskill and empower the global workforce?
• How can we ensure the twin promises of economic growth and environmental protection to keep people and
workers onside for the green transition?

Priscilla Sims-Brown - President and CEO, Amalgamated Bank (Confirmed)
