Education and Employers is pleased to have contributed to the new joint report launched by WorldSkills and the OECD. This new report aims to better understand the attitudes of young people when it comes to future technologies, their perceptions about how technological change will impact their work opportunities, and whether they feel if they are getting enough support from schools to prepare them for the future.
