By looking at the kind of jobs that are in demand now but which did not exist 10 years ago, researchers at the University of Pretoria can better understand what needs to be done to ensure that its students and the larger workforce are equipped for the future.aims to be the key African excellence centre for investigating the future of work, producing scientific and popular publications, and providing advisory services and training.
“We are living in a continuously changing environment and we need to create an inclusive, diverse, human-centred society that can prosper within an environment of technology and change,” says Professor Natasja Holtzhausen, Director of the CFoW. “This is in line with the concept of Society 5.0, a system where the combination of human skills, collaborative robotics and artificial intelligence complement one another in the service of humanity and the planet.
Guidance from researchers, government, the business sector and those with expertise in social responsibility are critical to maintaining support for the centre. As such, the CFoW has an advisory board structure in place that includes University stakeholders, deans from all UP’s faculties, and senior members from the local and international private and public sectors.
But the advancement of information technology and artificial intelligence will mean that tasks will require less human intervention in the workplace, which could spell disaster for jobs.
