For most of history, there has been a gradual rise in technology such as the wheel and steam power that can AUTOMATE (replace) human PHYSICAL abilities, and this occurred en mass (in large, society-shaking ways) from the Industrial revolution of the 1700's onwards.
In broad terms, the solution to this replacement of workers on farms and later in factories was a mass education system to lift everyone's MENTAL abilities.
BUT, the 4th Industrial Revolution which we are now living through is marked by the introduction of technology that can automate and replace human MENTAL abilities such as taking photos, coding, medical diagnosis, accounting, journalism, retail -  en mass.
So where does that leave humans now?

What's the human side of the 4th Industrial Revolution, what is your own story, and how do we work together to be ready?

EPISODE 2 INTRO:
The Human Connection


In 2016 I learned how unpredictable life is. After being on what felt like the safe career path I had grown up thinking was normal, I found myself facing a dramatic change of circumstances. At this point I had to cope with having 2, 3 or 4 jobs at a time to survive - and started noticing how many other people I knew who were already also in this boat.


And so, I began to research what skills are most needed to be adaptable and stand out in a very different world of work (where AI software now even determines which resumes eventually get seen by human job recruiters). This is where early ideas for FutureWe and the framework where born.


I also discovered that for young people (up to age of 24) having 2, 3 or 4 jobs at a time was the norm, and that unemployment + 'under-employment' were already at 32% in my country. On top of this, full time jobs (blue line) are decreasing while part time work (green line) rises rapidly (something that is true now in most countries).


To help especially young people find a way forward, FYA.org in their grownd-breaking 'New Work Mindset' report analysed 2.7 million current jobs to determine the 'clusters' that work now falls into.


They found these 7 overall 'clusters' and analysed which ones will have the most opportunities for people to find work in as the fully digital and automated era begins.


In fact - both 'carers' and 'informers' are correct!


Which 'cluster' of skills did FYA conclude has the most likelihood of providing future employment?

How can you take steps to plan out **your ** readiness journey, as well as the path your project needs to take?

Plan and Design


A visioning technique: 'What, So What, Now What' - as applied to FutureWe by founder Jonathan Nalder (10min video)


3. Plan and Design

Now you understand 1. the big picture, 2. it's impact on humans and why you need a team, and 3. the framework as a way of planning your response - it's time to take action and put this into practice.

EPISODE 4 intro:
Take Action, Apply Framework


You have now greatly expanded your knowledge of how to be future ready and how the framework can help scaffold and guide this journey - and now its time for the next step.


One of the best ways to start delivering outcomes for your future-readiness journey is to take the free survey.
• You can do this as an individual - and its even better when done with your team
• The report you receive by email can form the basis for the action you take next


The report will give you an overview of your progress across each domain and literacy.
We encourage you to celebrate  🥳 the literacies you have already grown in!


It also gives information on what literacies you can focus on improving (such as 'vision' in this example).

How to apply the framework
Taking the survey is one practical way to engage with and apply the framework to your journey.
Next, swipe up to see examples from real-life professionals of what can come next:


**Amanda Rablin, **Head of Elearning, Australia 🇦🇺
“The framework gives me clear purpose and processes for my work at Australia’s largest private school where I coach teachers in the use of digital technologies and pedagogies”.
HOW? Staff complete the framework mapping as stimulus to design lessons that truly link to real world skills .


Michael Derwin, Trainer Agile Direct, Co-founder Adepto. Australia 🇦🇺
“I see that the framework can help all trainers in the education and corporate world beyond take the intangible skills we know are needed and move them into a tangible context they can use to track and improve on”.
HOW? Professionals can return to the Framework mapping survey to assess their development.


Monica Cardozo, High School, Sweden 🇸🇪
“As a languages trainer I’m going to be replaceable in the future, so the most important thing I can do is use tools like the framework to create future citizens who have mastered the future literacies they’ll need no matter what subject they do”.
HOW? Learners map their activities to keep their motivation and understanding of how learning links to real-world applications high.


Claire Venables, Active English
Brazil 🇧🇷
"Times have changed and like so many others, I have begun a journey of professional transformation. I’m fully aware that my role as a trainer needs to be radically re-written if I am to remain relevant in the future"
HOW? Claire is beginning to use the domains to guide planning and ensure everyday training is also providing opportunities for adult learners and students to grow future literacies.


Michael Openshaw 🇦🇺
Head of Careers and VET, St Norbert
HOW? “ I use the framework with year 10 students as a reflection activity on the future of work. The students complete   the survey and reflect on experiences they have had for demonstrating the future literacies.
Students then set goals for learning that would allow them to develop further “
