It\u2019s reshaping every aspect of our lives as humans. Everything from the way we live, work, learn and teach is changing.<\/p>\n<p>This impacts the skills students need to succeed in classrooms today and in the workplaces of the future. Schools, colleges, and universities need to evolve in order to deliver the best learning outcomes for students.<\/p>\n<p>As educators, you\u2019re tasked with the critical role of equipping students with the skills they need for the future digital workplace and to be the next generation of leaders. Not only does everyone needs to learn the skills required to live and work in a world that is increasingly digital, but we need more computer science, data science, and cybersecurity skills to build future products and services.<\/p>\n<p>This can seem like an impossible task at times with an increased pressure around funding and student numbers, but we see many great examples of how colleges and universities are finding smarter ways of working, enabling students to take control of their learning whilst freeing up teachers to spend more time helping them overcome challenges.<\/p>\n<h2>The future of work and skills<\/h2>\n<p>The workplace of today and the future is more collaborative, productive, and diverse. It empowers employees to work how they see best, wherever they are. Technology is an integral part of the workplace today, and as technologies like IoT and AI grow, the role of technology will also expand.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important we build up student\u2019s soft and digital skills to ensure they can walk into these roles with confidence. <a href=\"http:\/\/reports.weforum.org\/future-of-jobs-2018\/key-findings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The World Economic Forum listed<\/a> analytical thinking, innovation, active learning, creativity, problem solving, and collaboration as some of the most important emerging skills of 2022. Students will also need to be committed to lifelong learning, to ensure they re- and upskill as we make new technology gains and jobs and industries evolve and need new skills.<\/p>\n<h2>Empowering educators with digital skills<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-large  webp-format alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/02\/EDU19_HigherEdLectureHall_001-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Students seated in a university lecture hall with a male instructor presenting an assignment in Teams at the front of the class.\" width=\"370\" height=\"247\" data-orig-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/02\/EDU19_HigherEdLectureHall_001-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/02\/EDU19_HigherEdLectureHall_001-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/02\/EDU19_HigherEdLectureHall_001-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/02\/EDU19_HigherEdLectureHall_001-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/02\/EDU19_HigherEdLectureHall_001-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/02\/EDU19_HigherEdLectureHall_001-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/02\/EDU19_HigherEdLectureHall_001-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/02\/EDU19_HigherEdLectureHall_001-400x267.jpg 400w\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/02\/EDU19_HigherEdLectureHall_001-1024x683.jpg\" \/>For students to reach their full potential, they need educators at their full potential.
