The historical impact of technology
In the future of work, humans will lose their jobs as they compete with robots. However, when looking at history, we can see that technology has always created new employment opportunities. To better understand the future, we can learn from the past. This video provides a brief introduction to how work has changed throughout history and how it has shaped our society.
What will our jobs look like in the future?
In this video, we follow a group of young people from Dahlske Secondary School who question whether the future of work will be exciting or daunting. Research shows that new technology will inevitably lead to some jobs and work tasks disappearing, while others emerge. The students investigate whether robots can replace humans and what role human beings will play as technology continues to take up more space in the workplace. Learning about research and the world of work, brings these young people closer to finding answers.
How will we work in the future?
As technology continues to develop and change at a rapid pace, we will need to be adaptable and ready to acquire new skills. In this video, the young people explore what kind of skills will be important for the future and how we can interact with technology.
Join us to gain a better understanding of how the health and care sector will change. Gain more insight into what businesses will need in the future and see an example of what a flexible workplace could look like.
How do we want work to be?
There is an emerging demand for a sustainable society. This will reshape the dynamics of the workplace and can manifest in different ways. In this video, the young people talk about the much-discussed concept of sustainability and visit workplaces that prioritise sustainability, diversity and inclusive workplaces. They explore what this actually means and how the future of work can look like when we make the most of local resources.
