“What matters most is relevant skills.” - Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn
Here at Forward School, we believe that practical skills will matter more than your degree in the new economy and that traditional education institutions might not necessary be the best place to equip you for the future. The current coronavirus pandemic is an excellent example that technology is and will be driving us forward. We are indeed in the midst of a profound social and economic transformation.
In this webinar we will be discussing these pointers:
- Automation and the gig economy are changing the future of work.
- How we must upskill and not just be consumers but creators of these new technologies.
- Learning has to be cross-disciplinary, personalised and focused on human skills.
- How Forward School working alongside with the industry can future-fit education.

If you could travel back in time and you know that social media would dominate culture, what would you do? Buy shares in social media companies? Build up your own tech company? Change your business or career path with social media in mind? Now consider a different question: If you know what 2025 will be like, what would you do today? Covid-19 and MCO has shown us heroes (frontliners) and villains (fake news) that will set the new normal. How will Computing fit in that new normal?

Choosing a study pathway can be a daunting tasks to most students; they are at a crossroad. Unlike a float in a parade that is quickly put together with tinsel and crepe paper, then discarded and of no use the day after the parade. This important decision affects the lives of the students. The 5 Moments of Truth describes five choices that leads the students to make a firm decision.
