Skills for the future
The labour market is changing quickly and you wonder which skills are becoming important now. In this interactive workshop you get an overview of 21st-century skills, you learn to deal with change and you draw up a personal development plan. In-company, for 6 to 12 participants.
Do you recognise this?
On a Tuesday morning you read that your sector is introducing a new tool or working method again. People talk about it at the office, and someone says you just have to keep up. You wonder where to start.
You notice that you mostly react to what comes your way, without knowing where you want to go yourself. That gives an uncomfortable feeling of falling behind, even when your work is going well.
Both the form and the content of work are getting a new meaning. Digital innovation and progress in biotechnology are reconfiguring the content of our work and our workplace. Perhaps you wonder:
- which skills are becoming more important in this renewed labour market;
- how you can adapt to that;
- what role you want to take in the future labour market;
- what is holding you back at this moment.
Why is keeping up so difficult?
Change does not come at a planned moment. While you are busy with your daily work, what matters shifts, and no one explains which skills you need now.
Without an overview and without a plan it remains difficult to adapt to a world that is constantly changing. You keep a lot in your head, you postpone choices and you doubt your next step. That costs energy and leaves little room to choose your own direction.
It does not have to stay this way. You can learn how to deal with change and what you want to develop yourself.
How do you determine which skills you need?
Adapting to a changing world is a skill, and you can build it step by step. You do not have to be able to do everything, you need to know what counts for you.
Our coaches know the feeling of a world that moves faster than you do. They take you through 21st-century skills, the VUCA world and complex systems, and help you develop a flexible, Agile mindset.
In an interactive workshop you work towards your own personal development plan. This way you know what you want to achieve and how to tackle it.
What you can do after the training
After the training you can:
- name the most important 21st-century skills: learning skills, digital literacy and interpersonal skills;
- understand the VUCA world: fast changing, uncertain, complex and full of contradictory opinions;
- understand what change is, how people deal with it and how you deal with resistance;
- gain insight into how complex systems work;
- develop a flexible, Agile mindset;
- formulate concrete personal goals and draw up a personal development plan.
How we tackle it
The workshop is interactive. We go through five parts step by step:
- Overview of 21st-century skills: learning skills, digital literacy and interpersonal skills.
- Understanding the VUCA world: the dynamics of constant change, what change is, how people deal with it and how you deal with resistance.
- Insight into complex systems: what systems are, how they interact, when we speak of complexity and how you build systems that adapt to constant change.
- A flexible Agile mindset: what role you take in the future labour market, how you adapt easily and how you become Agile.
- Personal goals and a development plan: what you want to achieve, what is holding you back, which skills are essential for you and how, where and when you best develop them. You also learn what a personal development plan (PDP) is, how you draw it up and how you use it for your career or business.
You keep practising afterwards
Every training is extended in the THOC Learning Space. Your material remains available and you get an AI Coach who knows the lesson.
We work in an experience-oriented way: you constantly work with the theory in practical exercises where you apply your skills to real situations.
