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?

Having moved into Academia I've to upskill and develop all sorts of new skills to adjust into my new role, but all of these take time to do and will require a lot of effort. I knew when I accepted the job that I would have a killer 12 months, but that the effort expended would be worthwhile and make future years considerably easier and enable me to build up a selection of notes, tutorials and hopefully a research base.
I've a very bad habit of letting my enthusiasm getting the better of me and consequently becoming involved in all sorts of activities which quite frankly I don't really have time for at the moment. This year I've started as an examiner for the Institution of Structural Engineers which whilst I find it rewarding it is a drain on a very limited pool of time.
I've received a few other requests to get involved with various extra curricular activities but I'm slowly learning to say no, rather than saying "I can" or "I will".... being selective this year will be the key to me not running round the car park with my pants on my head and pencils hanging out of my nose
