Preparing Students Effectively for Their Future

Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the nature of work. Over the next 10 to 15 years, the adoption of these technologies will transform the workplace as people interact with ever smarter machines. At least 30 percent of the work activities performed within 60 percent of today’s occupations can be automated, McKinsey says. The consulting firm believes that by the year 2030, 75 million to 375 million workers (or 3 to 14 percent of the global workforce) will need to switch jobs as a result of this transformation.
