The End of Jobs: How to Prepare Your Career for the 4th Industrial Revolution
About the class
As the robots rise, we are faced with the End of Jobs, but not in the way you might think...
As we enter the fourth great leap forward in technology with robots and AI, we face the first services revolution. The power balance will shift massively to companies as new technologies drive productivity increases in the service industry, much as the last three industrial revolutions transformed manufacturing.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
· What the past three industrial revolutions can teach us about the current and future state of the labor market.
· How to be a force for ensuring fairness for workers, clear rules for companies, and stability for society.
· What the future of work is and how to prepare your career, and your company to meet it.
