A People Management article highlights – skills of the future are ‘empathy, teamwork and resilience’, says Matthew Taylor.

The article went on to highlight our need to record soft skills as well as formal education.

We talk about coding – we won’t need coding in 20 years but we are going to need empathy, we’re going to need teamwork, we’re going to need resilience.

Taylor added that a skills-based framework would be most helpful to those whose jobs were most at risk.
