Preparing tomorrow’s workforce for the Fourth Industrial Revolution

A few weeks ago I published a study by Accenture and the G20 Young Entrepreneurs Alliance (G20 YEA) on how to accelerate the acquisition of new skills in the era of Artificial Intelligence. Today I read one from Deloitte and the Global Business Coalition for Education that examines the skills young people will need in the future, and recommends solutions that will help businesses succeed.

The four key recommendations offered by the report to the business ecosystem to address these new challenges are:

• Align stakeholders’ objectives and approaches: Work with the broader ecosystem to align goals and outcomes for impact.
• Engage in public policy: Strategically engage in public policy through dialogue, advocacy, collaboration, and influence.
• Develop promising talent strategies: Analyze current talent strategies–particularly those focused on youth or under-represented populations–and implement best practices to promote inclusivity and innovation, and drive economic return through differentiation.
• Invest strategically in workforce training approaches: Evaluate, invest, and promote workforce training programs that align with corporate social responsibility goals, talent practices, skill needs, and corporate culture.

Very aline with Accenture’s highlights and conclusions. You can download the full report from their website. What do you think?
