2. An era of Oportunity

3. Objectives

4. The world in 2030

5. The shape of jobs to come

The purpose of this report is to highlight examplesof the kinds of jobs, careers and professions thatarise in the period from 2010 to 2030.

The report was commissioned as part of theScience: [So what? So everything] campaign whichis funded by the Department for BusinessInnovation and Skills of UK.

The study highlights that we are entering a new erafor science and technology.

The centrality of science and technology in helpingto tackle the most pressing planetary challenges:poverty, clean water, environment, humanhealth, climate change, energy supply andtransport.

Conduct a “horizon scan” to identify a sample ofkey advances in science in the period f 2010 -2030.

Identify a long list of “jobs of the future„ -highlighting “Jobs that don„t yet Exist„ and currentjobs that could become more prominent over thenext two decades.

Develop more detailed profiles of a representativesample of twenty jobs.

The study chose to adopt an existing scanning framework whichit‟s used and kept updated on a continuous basis. This frameworktakes the key global trends and developments shaping our worldand groups them under the following ten key patterns of change:

1. Demographic Shifts 2. Economic Turbulence 3. Politics Gets Complex 4. Business 3.0 – An Expanding Agenda 5. Science and Technology go Mainstream 6. Generational Crossroads 7. Rethinking Talent, Education and Training 8. Global Expansion of Electronic Media 9. A Society in Transition 10. Natural Resource Challenges

The Shape of

jobs to

come

Due to the huge advancesbeing made in bio-tissues, robotics andplastics, the creation ofhigh performing bodyparts - from organs tolimbs - will soon bepossible, requiring bodypart makers, body partstores and body partrepair shops.

Advances in nanotechnologyoffer the potential for a rangeof sub-atomic 'nanoscale'devices, inserts andprocedures that couldtransform healthcare.

A new range of nano-medicine specialists will berequired to administer thesetreatments.

Pharmers are the nextgeneration of farmerswho will raise cropsand livestock that havebeen geneticallyengineered to improvefood yields and “grow”therapeuticproteins, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
