How to Future Proof Your Career

event date June 13, 2022 event timing 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Virtual

Event overview

Want to know how to future proof your career? Join this online #LSEFestival skills event on 13 June where Dr Grace Lordan will explore the skills that will allow a person be in demand in the labour market a decade from now.

Bookings are closed for this event.

We are currently in a transition period where the future of work is being defined.

The world of work is being shaped by the Great Resignation, technology changes and varying policies around hybrid working. But what does this all mean for skills? What skill-set should you hone to be a future leader? What skills should you acquire to be in demand on the labour market? Do we all need to be tech savvy? And what are the skills that will allow a person be in demand in the labour market a decade from now.

Join Dr Grace Lordan, author of Think Big, where she will answer these questions and more. Grace will also be telling you more about the value of investing in becoming an inclusive leader through a behavioural science approach.
