International Delphi Survey of the NextSkills Project, 2019
From the Key Findings (p.3):
"Research on future skills is the current hot topic of the day with fundamental changes in the job market due to a number of powerful drivers. While many studies focus on the changes brought through digital technologies, they relate future skills directly to digital skills, which - as important as they are - only represent one side of the future skill coin. The results presented from this Delphi survey are taking a broader approach and go beyond digital skill demands. the approach elaborates on an expert's informed vision of the future higher eduaction (HE), taking into account the demand for future skills, outlines the four signposts of change which will shape the learning revolution in higher education and presents a first model of future skills for future graduates.
It is part of an overarching research project on "next skills" (www.nextskills.org) and collates opinions from an international experts' panel of almost 50 experts from higher education and business. Experts were asked both, the degree of relevance, as well as the timeframe of adoption for future skills, future higher education scenarios and the driving pillars of change."
