Talent reskilling has emerged as a pivotal response to the evolving demands of industries and the workforce, especially given the sizable impact of geopolitical shocks, disruptive technologies, and automation in the manufacturing and services sectors.
This report explores the technological, economic, and societal shifts set to shape the reskilling landscape in the next two decades. It also examines the influence of emerging global mega trends on reskilling, upskilling, and cross-skilling to provide valuable insights for enterprises to embark on skilling initiatives globally. The study delves into the role of governments, corporations, and educational institutions in fostering a conducive environment for reskilling initiatives.
Various economic, demographic, and industry trends to 2040 will likely impact the long-term prospects of business models, including platform-based, software as a service, and manufacturing to zero as a service. Through a comprehensive analysis of these factors, this report aims to equip policymakers, educators, and industry leaders with a roadmap to harness the growth opportunities global talent reskilling presents.
