Atlas Skills Technology Foresight workshop - more details

Our world is facing massive changes that will deeply affect all spheres of human activity and change the paradigm of manufacturing, services, logistics, capital and consumption. These changes significantly influence existing professions: many new professions emerge that never existed before, some occupations become obsolete and others face significant changes. The gap between educational system supply and labor market demand leads to significant imbalances in the economy.
