THE NEW ROAD TO SKILLS
STEPHEN MURGATROYD, PHDCEO, COLLABORATIVE MEDIA GROUP INC.
WHY NEED TO THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT SKILLS DEVELOPMENT…
• WORK IS CHANGING • AUTOMATION• ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE• NEW BUSINESS MODELS• NEW SKILLS FOR PRODUCTIVITY
AND…
• DEMOGRAPHY OF CANADA IS CHANGING..• BY 2030, 30% OF CANADIANS WILL
BE OVER 60 YEARS OF AGE• THERE WILL BE 2 WORKING AGE
PEOPLE IN CANADA FOR EACH RETIREE – DOWN FROM 4:1 IN 2015.
• GDP COULD FALL BY AS MUCH AS 52% (MCKINSEY)
• MORE SENIORS THAN STUDENTS IN K-12 FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THE NATURE OF WORK IS CHANGING – THE UBERIZATION OF WORK
• BY THE YEAR 2000 IN CANADA, APP. 50% OF THE WORKFORCE WERE CONTINGENT WORKERS – CONTRACTED FOR SERVICE RATHER THAN EMPLOYEES.
• LARGEST NUMBER OF CONTINGENT WORKERS ARE YOUNG PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 35.
• CANADA HAS THE 3RD LARGEST CONTINGENT WORKFORCE IN THE WORLD BEHIND NEW ZEALAND (#1) AND THE US (#2).
• BY 2030 WE ANTICIPATE THAT 65% OF THE CANADIAN WORKFORCE WILL BE CONTINGENT
• MANY OVER 65 ALSO CONTINUE TO WORK OUT OF CHOICE (SOME DO SO OUT OF NECESSITY)
LEARNING IS INTEGRATED INTO WORK NOT APART FROM IT…
OLD CAREER PATHWAY• DAY CARE• ELEMENTARY• JUNIOR HIGH / HIGH SCHOOL• APPRENTICESHIP / COLLEGE / UNIVERSITY• JOB 1 IN CAREER 1• JOB 2 IN CAREER 1 – SMALL PROMOTION• JOB 3 IN CAREER 1– SMALL PROMOTION• JOB 4 IN CAREER 1 – LARGER PROMOTION• RETIRE
NEW CAREERS PATHWAY• DAY CARE / ELEMENTARY / TUTOR• JUNIOR HIGH / HIGH / SELF-TAUGHT• SKILLS LEARNING • CAREER 1• CAREER 2• RETURN TO LEARN• CAREER 3• RETURN TO LEARN• CAREER 4• {REAPEAT OVER AND OVER}
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR SKILLS BASED LEARNING?
SKILLS BASED LEARNING NEEDS TO BE..
• AVAILABLE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE TO ANYONE – AT WORK, AT HOME, VIA COLLEGES, VIA TUTORS, VIA WORKBASED LEARNING – LEARNING NEEDS TO BE EVERYWHERE
• FLEXIBLE, FAST AND EFFECTIVE• MODULAR, STACKABLE AND PORTABLE• ABOUT COMPETENCIES, SKILLS AND ABILITIES – NOT ABOUT TIME OR AGE• FOCUSED ON WHAT SOMEONE CAN DO AND HOW THEY DO IT AND LESS ON
CREDENTIALS• MICRO-CREDIT AS IMPORTANT AS A RED SEAL, DIPLOMA OR CERTIFICATE• EMPLOYERS WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU BRING TO THEIR ORGANIZATION IN TERMS
OF “SOFT SKILLS” AS WELL AS HARD SKILLS
WE NEED TO MOVE TO
• SHORTER MODULES (2-3 WEEKS)• DELIVERED FLEXIBLY• BASED ON COMPETENCY• ASSESSMENT ON DEMAND• MODULES SHOULD STACK FROM A BADGE TO AN APPLIED
DOCTORATE
WE NEED TO RETHINK APPRENTICESHIP
• ITS NOT ABOUT TIME, ITS ABOUT CAPABILITIES• ITS NOT ABOUT RATIOS FOR SUPERVISION – ITS ABOUT MENTORING,
COACHING AND GUIDING FOR SUCCESS• IT IS ALSO ABOUT RECOGNIZING PRIOR LEARNING, WORKBASED
LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ACQUIRED FROM ANY SOURCE – ITS NOT ABOUT NAIT OR SAIT, ITS ABOUT CAPABILITY
• THE KEY ROLE FOR NAIT / SAIT AND OTHER PROVIDERS IS MENTORING, COACHING, GUIDING, ASSESSMENT – SOME TEACHING MAY BE REQUIRED
WE NEED
• EMPLOYEES TO HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO ASK FOR TRAINING• EMPLOYERS INVESTING MORE IN TRAINING AND LEARNING• MORE PROVIDERS OF LEARNING• ASSESSMENT IS THE KEY – CAPABILITY BASED ASSESSMENT IS THE
FUTURE
IMAGINE
• ASSESSMENT OF SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES ON DEMAND
• ASSESSMENT LEADS TO CREDENTIALS
• ALL CREDENTIALS ARE STACKABLE – LIFELONG LEARNING HAS MOMENTUM
• AND ALL LEARNING IS TRANSFERABLE AND RECOGNIZED ANYWHERE – FORGET GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES
TIMES ARE CHANGING..
“THE FUTURE IS RARELY A STRAIGHT LINE FROM THE
PAST….”EXPECT THE NEXT CHALLENGE TO LEARNING TO BE A
CURVEBALL!
