The workforce of the future will look very different from that of today. According to research from McKinsey, nearly one-third of U.S. workers will need to find new jobs by 2030 in response to automation and rapid advancements in technology. However, billionaire philanthropist Melinda Gates says these stats should not be cause for concern.
"Anybody can learn science. Anybody can learn to be a good writer," Gates says in an accompanying video interview."It may be harder for some people, but that means you put your shoulder against it and you have some grit and you stick with it." "If you're going to switch jobs, getting a little bit of training … will help you with that," Gates explains."It'll not only help you with the confidence, it'll help you with the skills."
"As industries transform," she wrote in a USA Today column,"jobs are being created that demand new skills – which in turn requires new approaches to education, training and recruiting."
