The Future of Education and Work with David Timis | S2 EP7

36 minutes

The pandemic has not only caused health concerns but also an unprecedented surge in unemployment. With the fast-growing economies and societies driven by technology, the alarming rate of underemployment and shortage of skills has immensely affected the balance of demands in work and talent.

On the other hand, the pandemic has also paved the introduction of a hybrid setup utilizing technology as the main driver of both education and employment systems.

In this episode, Mangtas Nation has an in-depth discussion on modern education and the skills needed for the future of work with David Timis, the Global Communications Manager at Generation.

Generation is a non-profit organization with a primary focus on technology-driven education and training programs to be able to prepare and support vulnerable sectors and passionate individuals for the future of work. This includes upskilling and reskilling to meet the high demands of work that has been unprecedentedly disrupted by the global pandemic.

David is also an active member of the Global Shapers Community at Brussels Hub which forwards sustainable and global change.
