Skills on The Rise
Workers will see an average shift of 42% in required workplace skills in the period leading up to 2022. Life Skills growing in prominence include Analytical Thinking and Active Learning.
Do you know, according to World Economic Forum, by 2022, Life Skills are set to see a significant increase in demand?
Global average “skills stability”— the proportion of core skills required to perform a job that will remain the same — is expected to be about 58%.
That means workers will see an average shift of 42% in required workplace skills in the period leading up to 2022.
Life Skills growing in prominence include Analytical Thinking and Active Learning. However, proficiency in new technologies is only one part of the 2022 skills equation.
Other Life skills such as Creativity, Originality, Initiative, Critical Thinking, Persuasion and Negotiation will increase their value, as will Attention to Detail, Resilience, Flexibility and Problem Solving.
Emotional Intelligence, Leadership and Social Influence as well as Service Orientation are also set to see a particular increase in demand.
Only a few universities all over the world have paid attention to this most crucial aspect of education, and University of Petroleum and Energy Studies is the part of the proud league.
Glad to be the founding member of School for Life at University of Petroleum and Energy Studies to offer these incredible Life Skills to its student community.
Also in 2016, it was an honor to teach Life Skills to 28 British youngsters (from various universities in the UK) who came to India for a British Council-supported 14-day-long “Generation UK-India” programme.
I taught life skills with the help of inspiring interactions, interesting activities and fun games, in a professional and approachable manner.
I am very sure and strongly believe that Life Skills education is set to see a significant increase in demand across the globe.
