This Breakfast Seminar, aimed at local business, will offer insight on the human skills required for the Future of Work with emphasis within a ‘digital setting’ and how to develop them within a work setting.
It will be led by Siobhan Mulvenna, Belfast Met, an expert in this field and co-delivered with Helen Mckenna, Teaching Fellow at UU.
The target audience will be business and industry leaders who want to identify and develop the key human skills required to future proof their business.
Technology is driving a revolution in the workplace, transforming both the way we work and the job opportunities available. Given the pace of change there is growing recognition among employers and educators that it is very difficult to predict with any certainty, or level of detail, the jobs of the future.
The aim of the seminar is to show what the core soft skills are that we will increasingly need and how to develop them. Many of these skills are the truly human capabilities such as empathy and social intelligence, collaboration, creativity, judgment and critical thinking, resilience and attitude. These essential skills are fundamental to how people work effectively together in organisations, as well as to how they engage with customers and other external stakeholders.
