The world of work is changing faster than ever.

The development of technologies related to Information Technology creates new job and business opportunities and makes some traditional jobs and business obsolete
In the good old days most jobs skills were passed on from father to son or learned in the guilds – trade associations. Painters, jewellery makers, musicians, furniture makers learned their skills from their parents or relatives or in guilds and passed on their knowledge and skills to the next generation. It was common for most people to take up their parents’ jobs or business. Society changed slowly, though new jobs have been created along the way and others lost. With Industrial Revolution, many people came to live in industrial cities and work in the factories. Line production started a revolution in the world of work. But the end of the 20th century saw the biggest changes in the world of work.
The information age is changing the way people communicate and work around the world, making our world smaller and somehow more complex.

Only those who are well prepared in skills and knowledge and ability to learn new skills have a place in this new global culture. Most skills needed to find a job today are related to knowledge of languages and computer skills.
What skills and knowledge do you people need in order to get a job? Well, it depends on the job. But everyone must be ready to face new challenges, because the world is changing fast.
