Developing employees’ technological skills
28-3-2019
The oil and gas economy and human resource development expert Fadi Jawad, elucidated yesterday the reality of the Lebanese and Arab labor market, pinpointing its needs and global trends in terms of recruitment requirements. Jawad was speaking during his participation in the conference, ‘Education: between specialization and the labor market’ organized by the Center for Development of Creativity (CDC) at the premises of the Tripoli and North Chamber. Jawad called on the ministry of administrative development to draft a study on the skill requirements of the labor market to avoid the buildup of university graduates in unwanted disciplines. He cited a report published by Oxford University which showed that nearly 47% of current jobs will not need manpower in the future, due to the development of robots and technology which is threatening the international labor market. The fast evolution the world is witnessing today with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, has led to the extinction of a large number of occupations, but noted that the shift to the digital world will generate new careers that will fill the vacancy gap. Towards the end of the conference, Jawad appealed to private sector business leaders and entrepreneurs to start putting strategies to empower their staff through building their skills in line with the technological uprising.
