Participants’ Pains
We know that…
Smart working is reshaping the traditional work landscape by introducing flexible work hours and location independence. However, young individuals may find it difficult to fully utilize their potential due to a lack of awareness, resulting in poor productivity and an overwhelming feeling. Their capacity to take advantage of flexible work arrangements will help them balance their work and personal lives and develop their careers.
The modern workplace significantly relies on digital tools for efficient workflow. This new reality may appear overly complicated and formalized for young people looking for their first job, causing immense stress and self-doubt. However, learning which digital tools are used for workflow improvement or project management is essential today in various sectors. Young people should know that digital tools with the same purpose (e.g., project management) are usually built on a similar interface skeleton. As a result, familiarity with one tool makes it easier to learn each subsequent one. That will support young people’s self-confidence and professional attitude and improve their chances of distinguishing in a competitive employment market.
The widespread adoption of new technologies in the workplace, including AI and IoT, may also be challenging for young individuals. The above can complicate their onboarding process and slow their daily work activities. By gaining a basic understanding of such technologies, learners will be able to ease their transition into the smart workplace and efficiently adjust to shifting technology environments, so future-proofing their careers
