The Future of Work

RESPONSE:

I believe that the whole process of working with other students, as a student, prepared me for the future of work.  In the video, it is said that teams in the workforce are becoming much of a one time ordeal.  So, you work together with a group of people until the project is finished, say "Nice workin' with ya", and go your own way.  That's very much how it is in school.  Students come together to work towards a specific goal and then when it's done, most of the time, their work relationships are over.  Most teachers tend to rotate students around for different projects, sometimes just to be fair to the students.  However, these kinds of situations are preparing kids for the future of work.  In a way, I believe that this kind of system may have a good aspect to it.  This is more likely to make a person more open-minded, more willing to work with new people, and more accepting of change.  As we all know, change is something that we can't escape especially in this day of age.

The photo that I have shared shows a group of children working together.

  1. Excellent example of your schooling experiences prepared you for the future of work! Project based learning and team work are two strategies that we will learn more about this semester!
