Future skills step by step
Our everyday life is determined by constant change in all areas. Especially due to the ongoing digitalization, which is also reaching universities, colleges and schools, the concepts of teaching must change fundamentally. The research project NextSkills deals with these new forms of teaching, but tries to find a much deeper approach. The following videos deal with the results, which show which skills can be used to prepare students for the future world of work. These „Future Skills“ and their effects as well as their meaning in different contexts are explained step by step. Thereby, we deal with the questions concerning the nature of those Future Skills for the time being. In addition, we will deal with concrete elements that will be essential for the future world of work – self-organisation, for example, is already one of the most important key skills today, but how can it be embedded in the already established structures of companies?
We are also dealing with the question of whether the traditional universities as we know them will still be needed in tomorrow’s digitalised world.
You can find out more in the following videos about „Future Skills“!
Beyond the crisis
Preparing for future higher eduction
Today we invite you to think beyond the crisis. We believe strongly that beyond going online there is a further, deeper truth revealing in this crisis which needs attention. It is the question how we can better prepare young people for a society that is increasingly ready for radical and disruptive changes like we see them today – and probably will even more see in the future.
Which FutureSkills do graduates of the future need?
Ethical competencies, responsibility, meaningfulness, creating meaning and self-organisation – in the fourth video of our series at www.nextskills.org we focus on the 17 Future Skills Profiles which are gravitational centres for the skills that students can develop during their studies.
Does Corona question the function of universities?
In times of digital change and new digital possibilities, the question arises as to which role the universities can play in the future as places of knowledge transfer. We will certainly continue to need the institutions, but their profile is changing towards a networked organisation of a lifelong learning path.
Who are the experts?
Chalk and talk – that was yesterday!
Today, it is a matter of forming new alliances of teachers and students, which will become driving forces for solving real-world issues.Self-organisation
Key to Future Skills
Spotify, Mercedes-Benz.io GmbH, Soulbottles – **Self-organization** is in a way THE stage on which all future skills for future graduates play. It is easy to understand this, but to implement this in higher education means a clear change of direction! And for organisations this is THE challenge of the future – curse and blessing at the same time. Self-organization is contrary to existing hierarchical structures and yet it is essential to adapt to ever more complex changes.
What do “ Future Universities“ look like?
Educational processes are in a constant state of transition due to a variety of drivers, not least progressive digitalization, the current corona crisis and emerging new factors (see the „10 seconds of university development“).
We are developing four scenarios for the university of the future: the lifelong learning scenario, the personalization scenario, the networked multi-institutional study scenario and the future skill scenario.
The FutureSkills DNA
Future Skills are more than the often just strung together lists of skills, one has to achieve – more than that it is about the full ability to act and the interaction of those single skills. We got to the bottom of the FutureSkills DNA.Future Skills for the working world of tomorrow
„New Work – old University“?
The working world of the future will be characterized by three fundamental „shifts“ that will change the work culture. From hierarchy to networking organizations, from specifications to self-organization and from knowledge to competence. In addition, the generations of the future will have to shape the digital and automated world. Future Skills deal with the competencies that will be required to do so.
The Future Skills Video Series
In our Video Series on Future Skills we explain how educational concepts in general need to change and adapt. The „NextSkills“ research project deals with the new types and possibilities of teaching and, above all, with the skills that students will need to develop for the working world of tomorrow. These Future Skills are explained in our videos. We further present the key aspects in the overall video, which captures the most important points and provides a short but clear overview of the Future Skills.
