Global Skills Academy
Training and skills development opportunities for
employability
The rapid pace of technological, economic, and societal
transformations compounds this issue. Recent reports
from the World Economic Forum indicate that 43%
of business tasks are expected to be automated by
2027. This suggests the need for widespread reskilling
(the process of acquiring new skills or knowledge
to perform a different job or task) or upskilling
initiatives to ensure employees globally can navigate
the changing demands of the labour market
World
Bank Group : Skills and Workforce Development
When done right, skills development can reduce un-
and underemployment, increase productivity, and
improve standards of living. Investing in upskilling
or reskilling people for jobs of the future makes
economic sense. In the dynamic landscape of the
modern global labor market, education and workforce
development systems must become more personalized,
accessible (allowing for remote and hybrid learning),
and continuous along throughout workers’ careers–
placing “skills development” at the heart of these
global transitions. Moreover, skills systems globally
(and notably in LMICs) will need to adapt to the
fact that many workers will engage in freelancing/informal
jobs or self-employment that need to become more
profitable, productive, and conducive for economic
growth. To
succeed in the 21st century labor market, one needs
a comprehensive skill set
