Choosing a job in the 21st century
課程介紹
1. What types of jobs will we have in the rest of the 21st century? Work collaboratively and make a list of at least four 21st-century jobs, and add a few words about what responsibilities the job has and what you think its environmental impact is, if any. These may be: a) jobs we have now that will not be replaced by technology b) new jobs that have just appeared in our societies c) new jobs that don’t exist yet, but that you predict we will need.
2. What will be the structure and characteristics of work in the rest of the century? Work together with your group to use the table below to describe the nature of 21st-century work, and the benefits (environmental and other) of and challenges to your ideas. You will need to be creative and think critically. These may be: a) issues that already exist in work b) ideas that you predict, or hope, will become common.
Vocabulary and phrases
1. What types of jobs will we have in the rest of the century? (There are definitions or notes next to some of the words). Put a check next to the jobs that exist now or you believe will exist soon.
Artificial intelligence (AI) developers Big data analysts - specialists who look at data from different sources to find trends and patterns
Caring and health sector jobs – we have an ageing population Environmental jobs – scientists or coaches Nanotechnologists - specialists in small tech devices Robotic experts SEO (search engine optimisation) or social media specialists Transport planning or urban planning jobs – more and more people are now living in cities Waste management engineers - experts in how we dispose of things we no longer need.
Discussion
Will a four-day working week become standard? Can we hope for more sustainable jobs that build the local economy? Will workplaces be more environmentally aware? Will there be more equal opportunities for people to be recruited? Will we see tax-paying jobs that contribute to the local economy and reduce poverty? Will we see fewer people needing to travel abroad for jobs? As skills now become out of date quickly, are long-term careers now finished?
The final task will be to make a list of ideas for the future of work in the light of the climate crisis and global inequality.
