WHAT SKILLS DO ADULTS NEED TO THRIVE AND SUCCEED?

I have been reading a report on ‘What digital skills do adults need to succeed in the workplace now and in the next 10 years? The report was written by Dr Erika Kispeter, from the Warwick Institute for Employment Research at the University of Warwick. Unsurprisingly, Dr Kispeter suggests that to thrive and succeed in the future adults will need 'world class skills', especially interpersonal skills and cognitive competencies and learning strategies. The report states that occupations where workers use digital skills creatively and to solve problems are likely to grow, while occupations where digital skills are used for routine tasks are likely to decline.
