Presentation:
“Jobs of the Future – Are you ready to “Keep Pace?””
You may have noticed (or experienced) that the rate of technological change seems to be occurring faster than ever. While technologies such as Digital Assistants, Self Driving Cars, Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence may not sound ready for “prime time”, the reality is that these technologies are in use TODAY. And those implementations are creating NEW jobs with NEW skills – and in many cases are changing how existing work gets done and/or threatening existing jobs
The key question for anyone in today’s job market should be asking – What can I do to “Keep Pace” with these technologies so that my skills are relevant in the future?
In this brand new presentation for 2017, George will discuss:
• In depth analysis of several new, impactful technologies and the jobs they are creating
• 10 Steps to “Keep Pace” with technological change
• Resources that look at technologies and their future impact
• Sites that describe “Jobs of the future”
It will be an engaging hour presentation, one that you don’t want to miss !!!!
