The Future of Work is a neat video produced by oDesk. oDesk is a company that matches freelance workers with potential employers. Aside from the corporate sponsorship (which isn’t clear until the end), the video does do a good job of illustrating how the world is changing and illustrating what the new workplace will require of employees.
Applications for Education
Two of the more interesting slides in the video state, “college is the new high school” and “there’s no excuse for not knowing.” I think these are good reminders for today’s high school and college students to keep in mind as they consider educational programs and career choices.
