What is employability?
This term can have several different meanings; the most
popular one being that is demonstrates a person’s capability for gaining and
maintaining employment depending on a person’s knowledge, skills and the
abilities they possess. However,
to innovators and thinkers they believe that it can transcend beyond that
meaning.
What does having a job entail? Does it mean having that feeling of security that comes with
the relief that you will go to bed warm?
Does it mean knowing that you will never again be hungry…never again
know what it means to sleep in the cold?
Jobs are important, not because it gives people things to do
but because it’s a necessary part of life. Without a job, a family won’t be able to afford even the
simplest of everyday needs such as food or a place to live. In the future will it be possible that
most jobs will be able to be done by robots? If so…then where does that leave humans? Nowadays humans are being forced to
find new ways to challenge that very way of thinking, in the hopes that when
the time comes they will be able to keep a job.
I4J (Innovation for Jobs) is a non-profit company that works
with innovators from around the world to explore the transition into a better
working economy. Partnering with
Galactic Public Archives, we have put together a series of videos entitled: New
Narratives: Innovation for Jobs.
This series focuses on investigating a behind-the-scenes
look that’s headed in the direction that’s towards the future of the human
working class. Each video involves
discussions that center around certain items such as education, and the
economy.
