RADICAL INNOVATION
IN EDUCATION FOR WORK
PHOTOS BY REZA
• what is happening to the world of work?
• what is happening to workforces
and what do they need?
• how should learning be organised
to meet these needs?
On every continent, innovators are rethinking how we
organise learning for work in fast-changing conditions.
The work we do, and how we do it, is changing
• technology
and globalisation
• environment
• economies in flux
• demography
The new world of work
PHOTOS BY REZA
Who are the losers?
• Young people:
300m unemployed worldwide
• Low-skilled
• Security and stability:
the phenomenon of ‘permatemps’
• Rising graduate unemployment
economies in flux…
• learn rapidly to change their skill sets
• form ad-hoc teams (‘swarming’)
• be flexible, adapted to ‘anytime,
anywhere’
• have ‘global competence’
In global knowledge economies, workers will…
An homogenised,
‘MacDonalds’ world?
the danger, the fear…
“it’s in our hands”
stark skills mismatches

employers are unable to recruit
workers with the right capabilities

“We have good skills
in entrepreneurship
(in Burkina Faso) because
we have to. Life is hard.
School eliminates these
skills. It is our job (at 2iE)
to help students come
back to their talent, to
dust off those skills.”

Director General,

generating solutions
“We always treat problems as
a good thing here at Lumiar.
Problems require solutions,
and it’s in finding the solutions
that the learning happens…
We teach our students
that there’s no such thing
as failure. We encourage
them to think: Well, that didn’t
work. So why didn’t it work?
Now let’s try again..”

“When young people
are given real world
experience and their
learning is grounded in
it, they change. By
engaging the, and
respecting them, you
will change them. They
become transformed.”

“I have learned to take
control of my life. I have
learned not to stand and
watch. In contrast with our
other lessons, we had the
responsibility. Nobody gave
us any solutions. It has
changed me completely.
I found that the more you
do, the more you can do.
I don’t want to be an
employee now.”
