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.

Based on the online coaching conversations, the coaches realized that a lot of people are in a state of transition, either because of job cuts, changes in work location and work descriptions or responsibilities, or a sudden need to upskill or reskill as there were new skill sets required of them, just to name a few. So on July 7, 2020, 7:30 PM (Manila Time), a panel of coaches and mentors will share their views, as well as, their own learnings from transition journeys they have experienced in an effort to help other people learn to cope with changes they are undergoing.

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

society action

5:10pm

The future of a green energy economy depends on infrastructure, and the creation of infrastructure depends on

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?

What Will See Your Results Improve The Most? Is it racing or practice?

To answer this question I spoke with Skip Lissiman who has sailed a myriad of different boats from Pelicans through to Maxi boats with perhaps his greatest achievement being a part of the Australia 2 crew which won the America's Cup in 1983.

Brett: the first question I had here was how important is practice to improve your sailing rather than time racing?

Skip: Well, practice is essential to upskill your crew and yourself, to get to a point where you're capable of being competitive at racing.

We used to have this saying on the 12 Meter, the six Ps, "Perfect Practice Prevents Piss Poor Performance."

So, the sum of it is don't practice bad skills when you go out practicing. So, make a list of all of your weaknesses and practice those and use the time on the water to tick them off as you improve.

And so you use the practice time to work on your weaknesses and to get your crew working and your crew's skills up to a point where you're competitive on the racetrack. It's important to do it but racing is also important to just make sure your skills...and work out what your weaknesses are so you can go back out and do some practice.

But use your practice time wisely so you don't waste time and don't over-practice.
