Peter Cheese came to Southampton to give a guest lecture to first year business students at Southampton. Joshua McNulty gives his thoughts on his lecture about the future of work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The brilliant guest speaker, Peter Cheese, talked about the \u2018future of work and future skills\u2019 from a thought provoking perspective. Peter discussed not only what future employers will be looking for, but also an idea of what the future world\u2019s economy will be looking like in 20 or 30 years. He began by asking us where we are from and then asked, \u201cWhat age do you think you will retire at?\u201d. He then went on to say that you probably won\u2019t go through life having only one job. We all learn and develop from having different jobs. Traditional jobs are also disappearing and new types of jobs are being created due to the \u2018gig economy\u2019. Peter mentioned AirBnB and Uber being part of this new type of work where you get paid for doing more of a \u2018favour\u2019 than being an employee. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Peter also spoke about artificial intelligence and how jobs are being replaced to do technology getting smarter. He mentioned in today\u2019s society that commentary on sports seen on TV is being done by computers instead of human beings. Peter also told us that sometimes we aren’t even aware of this; the Alan Turing test is becoming something of the past and this new technology is becoming more innovative. Programs can learn from other programs and now computers can be \u2018in-charge\u2019 of other computers.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Peter then went into detail about what future employers are looking for, specifically CIPD\u2019s requirements. For a job you\u2019re applying to, you must have job skills to do with the role you want. These are generally broken down into two parts: core skills and employability skills. Core skills, you are required to have: digital skills, financial understanding, project management, critical thinking\/problem solving and people management. For employability skills, you need: work discipline and time management, communication skills, literacy\/numeracy, resilience and learning skills, empathy, collaboration and listening skills. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, Mr Cheese\u2019s talk was very insightful and I can confidently say that everyone in the room was provoked to think about their future and what technology will do for us. I personally think technology is a massive advantage to the business world and I am excited to use it to my advantage. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
