Teaching Tomorrow’s Workers to Thrive with Robots
Description:
From the creation of the wheel, to the industrial revolution, to the advent of Microsoft Excel, society has constantly innovated to find better ways of working – and with that innovation comes the need for new skills.
The same is true now as automation and robotic workforces become increasingly prevalent in businesses. With fears of job loss waning and demand for robots growing, the conversation has evolved to focus more on how education systems should change to prepare tomorrow’s workforce.
This panel of automation experts will offer technological, business and academic perspectives that explore the opportunity for educational reform – ensuring we are properly equipping future workers with the skills needed to thrive in the robo-enabled economy.
