“Security now lies not in employment but in employability
Individuals who want to maintain their employability have to regularly learn new skills.
We must all take more responsibility for maintaining our employability, which includes what we want to do, what skills we bring to the marketplace, and what others will pay us to do.
The underlying idea is that my career is my business ”
Professor Tony Watts, 2011
