The document discusses the future of skills and learning. It makes several key points: 1. Work has changed dramatically since 2000 due to factors like contingent workers, globalization, and new technologies. The nature of work and organizations is also changing. 2. Significant changes to work are expected by 2030 due to advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, and demographic shifts. Many jobs may be lost to automation. 3. There is a need to rethink skills development and learning to address these changes. Learning needs to focus on competencies over credentials and be available flexibly for lifelong learning. This includes reconsidering apprenticeships and implementing a "skills guarantee" for workers.
