Artificial Intelligence is not just a technological trend—it's a transformative force reshaping industries, jobs, and the skills required to thrive in the workforce of tomorrow. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025, AI is expected to create 11 million jobs globally by 2030, while displacing 9 million, primarily in routine roles. This dual impact underscores the urgency of preparing for workforce transitions through reskilling and upskilling initiatives. Generative AI, in particular, is democratizing expertise, enabling workers to perform complex tasks with less technical specialization. While this opens doors to innovation and productivity, it also highlights the need for responsible AI deployment—prioritizing human augmentation over replacement to ensure equitable benefits across societies. As 59% of the global workforce will require reskilling or upskilling by 2030, collaboration among governments, businesses, and educational institutions will be critical. From investments in digital infrastructure to inclusive access to AI technologies, the path forward demands a focus on adaptability, resilience, and lifelong learning. Dive into the insights from the report to explore how AI is redefining the global labor market and what it means for the future of work.
Canada’s international education system is at a crossroads. With recent federal reforms drastically reducing study permits and tightening regulations, the landscape for international students, post-secondary institutions, and policymakers has shifted dramatically. But where do we go from here? A new report from the CSA Public Policy Centre and The Dais at Toronto Metropolitan University outlines a path forward. It highlights six key areas for reform, including renewing Canada’s international education strategy, clarifying immigration pathways, ensuring ethical recruitment practices, strengthening oversight of designated learning institutions, improving student support services, and repairing Canada’s global reputation as a top education destination. The challenge is clear: Canada must balance integrity and sustainability while maintaining its appeal to top global talent. The report calls for coordinated action from federal and provincial governments, post-secondary leaders, and industry stakeholders to build a system that benefits students, institutions, and the broader economy.

By 2034, 80% of the workforce in advanced economies will comprise Millennials, Gen Z and the first Gen Alphas to become adults. In this landscape of shrinking talent, multigenerational workforces are key to our future. Demographic shifts at work aren’t new; leaders have always had to strike a balance between welcoming fresh, young talent and nurturing experienced professionals.

As the eduverse emerges as a transformative tool in education, it brings with it both opportunities and challenges. One pressing concern is equitable access—not just to the technology itself, but to the content and experiences it offers. How can we ensure that students from marginalized backgrounds, who already face systemic barriers, are not left behind in this new digital frontier? The eduverse has the potential to reimagine how knowledge is created and shared, breaking down geographical and cultural boundaries to foster a more inclusive, student-centered approach to learning. By embracing open and critical pedagogies, educators can use this technology to center students' lived experiences, enabling them to not only absorb information but actively create it. Could the eduverse be the key to addressing inequities in education while fostering global collaboration and understanding? The possibilities are immense, but only if we approach this new paradigm with intentionality and a commitment to inclusion. Read the whole blog at: https://lnkd.in/dHHtHAxY
Canada’s mining sector is at a crossroads. With a growing demand for critical minerals to power everything from EV batteries to renewable energy, the industry faces a significant labour shortage—10,000 vacancies and counting. Yet, two-thirds of young Canadians don’t see mining as a viable career path, often due to outdated perceptions of the industry. With Canada needing 15 new mines and 19 processing facilities in the next two decades, the question remains: How can the industry reshape its image and attract the next generation of talent? Addressing this challenge isn’t just about mining—it’s about securing the future of the global energy transition.
Canada’s international education system is at a crossroads. Recent policy changes have sent shockwaves through higher education, prompting urgent questions about the future of international student recruitment, immigration pathways, and institutional sustainability. A new report from the CSA Public Policy Centre and The Dais at Toronto Metropolitan University outlines a path forward, offering six key recommendations to renew Canada’s approach to international education. Among them: - Developing a long-term strategy that aligns education, immigration, and labour market needs. - Strengthening oversight of designated learning institutions (DLIs) to ensure quality and integrity. - Enhancing support services for international students, from academic resources to housing and employment protections. - Repairing Canada’s global reputation as a top destination for international students. With international enrolments already declining and institutions facing financial strain, the need for coordinated action has never been greater. How can policymakers, educators, and industry leaders work together to build a sustainable and high-quality international education system? See the original report here: https://lnkd.in/dGdxiggb

At Davos 2025, the future of work took center stage. While AI and automation continue to reshape industries, the real focus was on people—how we reskill, adapt, and build resilience in an era of rapid change. Key takeaways: - Skilling must start early, but lifelong learning is essential. - The most in-demand skills aren't just technical—communication, collaboration, and empathy are just as critical. - Resilience is a key leadership trait, and organizations are rethinking how they identify and develop future leaders. - Work-life balance is now a top priority for employees, even above compensation in some markets. - Migration for work will require a global, win-win approach as demographics shift. As the job market evolves, organizations and individuals alike must rethink how they prepare for the future. What trends are you seeing in your industry?
"The key challenge isn't access to content, but engagement with it," Thanks for the shoutout, Candice F.

🚀 Huge shoutout to our amazing partners at Scott MacDonald Curtis Clarke, PhD Propero Learning Systems Inc. for uncovering this game-changing set of insights in Harvard University Bharat Anand's book The Content Trap. The Content Trap by Bharat Anand seems to be written specifically for us at at Disco. We love working with smart learning advisors like Scott MacDonald Curtis Clarke, PhD who deeply understand how to build transformational learning programs. We couldn't agree more, learning is not just about pumping out content - it's about creating ENGAGEMENT that transforms learning. "The key challenge isn't access to content, but engagement with it," "We need to dramatically reverse this emphasis: 97% social, 3% content," Anand nails it. This resonates deeply with our mission to revolutionize learning through AI, community, and cutting-edge design. At Disco, we're not just talking the talk. We're walking the walk: AI-first design: Knowledge that adapts and evolves Social learning DNA: Every experience is designed for connection over content Modern experience: Experiences that keep you engaged and learn more Operational magic: Making it 10x easier to run transformative programs We're not just avoiding the content trap - we're leaping over it. Thanks in many ways to partners like Propero Learning Systems Inc. who really understand this. 🎉#FutureOfLearning #AIinEducation #DiscoLearning
