”There are structural fault-lines running through the UK economy and labour market which could well undermine a sustainable recovery and the country’s long term competitiveness.” Peter Cheese, CEO, CIPD

The World of Work Now

UK has the second largest proportion of low skilled jobs in the OECD (CIPD) Thirty per cent of British workers are overqualified for their jobs (CIPD) Young people are three times more likely to be unemployed that adults (ONS) Young People who are NEET are more likely to have suicidal thoughts than those in learning or unemployment (The Princes Trust)

UKCES Future of Work – Jobs and Skills in 2030 “On current trends, the UK workforce in 2030 will be multi-generational, older, more international and female. Technology will be pervasive, jobs more fluid and the global labour market highly competitive”

Individuals should have ... Digitalisation skills - at all levels and in all sectors Competencies to work across disciplines, collaboratively and virtually Cultural sensitivity Ability to jump across specialist knowledge boundaries Self management skills (in the workplace and for personal learning) Project management skills Problem solving skills Personal agility and resilience (especially to adapt to change) Skills for leading and management a multi generational workforce

Policy makers should:.. Empower individuals through access to high quality careers and training information and advice

National Policy - Impact of the “Inspiration Vision”

• “Careers education is about aspiration as much as advice. Information is widely available. As well as advice, we need inspiration. The best mentoring and motivation comes from people in jobs. Employers, schools and colleges must do more in partnership together. Government will help facilitate this using the improved National Careers Service. Careers last a lifetime so we will continue supporting young people and adults to develop the career management skills they need.”
