Career tools for the future
Robotics. Biotechnology. Artificial intelligence. What are the jobs of the future going to look like? There are so many great resources out there to help each of us to prepare for the changing world of work. Here are my top three favourites.
1 - Atlas of Emerging Careers

With a focus on 25 industries it outlines 186 professions that are emerging and 157 that are said to die out before 2030.

3 - The Future of Jobs
While this is not the easiest read the World Economic Forum has jam packed this report full of information on trends in the global labour market and how this is impacting the skills we need for work. A total pool of 13 million employees across 9 industry sectors (in 15 major developed and emerging economies) were surveyed on what they are calling the emerging 'Fourth Industrial Revolution'. If you're wanting to go deep this is the resource for you. The infographics are also great if you want to have a quick skim read. The World Economic Forum shares their research for free and there are so many fascinating reports on their website. To read the full 'Future of Jobs' report click the following button:
