Skills for the Post-Pandemic World

The COVID-19 pandemic has pulled the future of work into the present: digitization, work from home, and many other long-predicted developments are here now, and likely to stay.
The Skills for the Post-Pandemic World project tackles key questions facing policymakers, employers, training providers and workers. It is urgent that society turn to face the fundamental changes in the labour market precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many players must rise to meet the new conditions of a post-pandemic world.
Building on the collaborative success of the Skills Next (opens in new window) series, the Public Policy Forum (external link) (PPF) and the Diversity Institute (opens in new window) (DI)—funded by the Future Skills Centre (external link) (FSC) with new support from Microsoft—are coming together again to face these rapid societal shifts head-on. The project looks at the future of skills, training and retraining in ways that will chart a path forward as the pandemic continues to unfold.
