So the NFER report into future jobs has identified 6 essential skills for the future that are pretty much what we do in English: communication; collaboration; problem-solving, organising, planning and prioritising; creative thinking, and information literacy www.nfer.ac.uk/press-releas...
Up to three million UK jobs at risk over the next decade, says report
The final report from The Skills Imperative 2035 Programme has warned that up to three million UK jobs in declining occupations could disappear by 2035, largely due to AI and automation.
