The world of work is changing.
How will you adapt?
As machines assume more work tasks human workers (that's you!) will require new skills to create value in the workplace. To thrive you will need to learn continuously, unlock your creativity, and become an adept collaborator.
Whilst technical skills will remain important most of us will not build apps. We will ,however, have to apply our human skills (sometime called 'soft skills') to extract value from the machines we interact with and to create immunity for ourselves as essential participants in the labour market.
But where can you learn these human skills? Well definitely not in a 20th century education setting! That’s where the Future Work Skills Academy comes in. We are dedicated to designing, developing and delivering engaging skill-building programs for 21st century workplace superheroes.
Because... Superheroes aren’t born.
They are made!
'The greatest power on earth is the magnificent power we all possess. The power of the human brain.'
This is a popular quote by the Marvel character Charles Xavier in the blockbuster movie X-Men. He is the professor at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning where they teach their students how to harness the powers they already possess, but can’t control.
When they are in control, they become superheroes.
(Re)discover your skills!
The Future Work Skills Academy's programs actually work in the same way!
We just enhance your human skills and show you how to use them to be superheroes at work. We don’t teach you how to fly or shoot laser with your eyes. But we do teach you how to make the most from your human skills like...
Empathy | Visualisation | Communication | Problem Solving
Sensing | Creativity | Problem Framing | Collaboration | Insight

Hear from our superhero graduates
“The human+ program eases the fears many people have about the future workplace changing with automation and digitization. This program very eloquently and compellingly shows how inherently human skills are a must in the future workplace and how human capabilities can not be substituted with technology. Each unit in the program showcases how human qualities increase the value and advancement of the workplace. This program is a necessary reminder of what makes us inherently human, unique, adaptive and creative as the world around us changes.”
