The future of work is not just about gathering certifications, or as Aubrey Masango, broadcaster, cautions, about credentialism. Rather, we need to focus on skills acquisition, and flexibility. The future of work will be about job skills and interpersonal skills. What do the stats tell us? According Ari Katz, CEO of Boston City Campus, an American survey results show that 93 percent of freelancers with a four-year degree say skills training was useful versus 79 percent who say their higher education was useful to the work they do now. Sixty-five percent of children entering primary school will end up in jobs that don't yet exist,(World Economic Forum). For all graduates and employees it means that we need to investigate new skills in all industries. Thus Boston stays in touch with industry in order to meet skills demands, thereby increasing the number of graduates who are work ready.
