Career Spotlight: Landing your dream job
The world of work is changing, and you need to be able to change too. How can Learning Journeys help?
The future of work has become an area of intense interest and analysis over the last few years. The traditional idea of work, and the way we experience employment, is rapidly changing.
Work is happening remotely, on a more flexible and freelance basis, meaning work is becoming less secure. This is also affecting your ability to develop professional relationships and sense of belonging. Collaboration is becoming more important, and the way we collaborate is changing as global inter-connectivity increases. We know that some jobs have disappeared, and robots are now doing the tasks once completed by humans. Work is never going to be the same.
Being a resilient learner is a critical attribute for success in the changing realm of work.
Learning Journeys maps the qualities needed to improve your resilient agency, a skill that will help you handle turbulence and uncertainty, and to take charge of your learning journey.
For example, as working remotely becomes standard, collaboration becomes more of a challenge. It is much harder to collaborate effectively when you are not sitting together in an office or shared workspace. The business realm is a great example of this situation, with collaboration often happening with companies/individuals from across the globe. The learning dimension aptly named collaboration helps you understand how effective you are in this area, and if it is an area you need to improve.
Sense making is another dimension crucial for the ongoing learning necessary to keep up with the constant evolution and development of new technologies. This dimension is about making connections between the things you know and then making sense of them in relation to each new context of learning and performance. This is important across almost every type of work, but is especially important for those who increasingly rely on technologies to complete their work, such as engineering or nursing.
