Dubai, United Arab Emirates Mar 25, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - The Dubai World Fair, also known as the Dubai Expo 2020, was visited by more than 20 million people. GLEAC’s exploration into the ‘Skills of the Future’ Expo at the Dubai Cares ‘The Future is Human’ Pavilion has been voted as one of the top 7 attractions at the Dubai Expo 2020! This achievement helped thousands of people at the Dubai Expo identify their human skills readiness for jobs of the future. GLEAC did this by creating a taxonomy of 250 jobs of the future that don’t even exist yet and people were able to see, in two minutes, whether they qualify for those jobs or not and what human skills aka soft skills were needed for them to qualify. All users were then given the opportunity to get mentors such as Nobel Peace Prize winners and upskill for free on the required skills.
This significant milestone has helped the world view ‘soft skills’ in a whole new light. It has further sparked the realisation that indeed, the future is human. “Being ranked amongst the top 7 best activities is a memorable milestone for GLEAC”, said Sallyann Della Casa, Founder of GLEAC. “We are very pleased that a great number of people at the Dubai Expo have recognised the value of human skills. It is our currency of the future, especially in an age of automation. This milestone will motivate us to continue to work towards making humans ‘future proof’. GLEAC has been involved in promoting human skills with its first MVP built-in 2018. We are definitely on our way to becoming the largest data lake of human skills in workplace situations which will serve as a critical data set for countries, A.I. and areas we cannot even yet imagine”
