By examining emerging trends and disruptive forces shaping the future of work, we will uncover the pressing need for reimagining education and training systems to remain relevant and responsive in this dynamic environment. Through innovative strategies and forward-thinking approaches, we will explore how institutions like Manchester Metropolitan University can lead the charge in equipping learners with the skills, knowledge, and adaptability required to thrive in the learning economy of tomorrow.
