‘By 2030, automation, globalisation and flexibility will change what we do in every job’ – Foundation for Young Australians (FYA), 2017
Just about everybody is talking about the ‘future of work’, how it will impact on work opportunities, job security and experiences. Which jobs will disappear and which jobs will be created?….but what about the future of careers? What will future careers look like?….
Addressing the needs of contemporary and future business professionals and leaders, Curtin Business School is leading the way in career sustainability research and practice. Drawing on the expertise of world class thought leaders in the field, we are pleased to announce the first in the CBS Executive Education Masterclass Series: Future-Proofing your Career. This inaugural program will feature Associate Professor Julia Richardson, an internationally recognized careers researcher and teacher in the field of human resource management.
Julia will be drawing on her recently published book– An Intelligent Career: Taking Ownership of your Work and your Life, to identify the key strategies for ‘future-proofing’ your career. The program will also feature guest speakers from industry, with essential insights into the changing nature of the global labour market.
About the facilitators
Associate Professor Julia Richardson
Having joined Curtin University after a move to Australia from Canada, Julia has pursued an international career in both the academic and corporate sector in Canada, Singapore, Japan and the UK. Her research expertise reflects her broader interest in contemporary careers and the implications for HRM practices and organizational performance. She is especially interested in themes relating to internationally mobile professionals, flexible and remote work practices and individual and organizational performance. A key concern in her recent work on these topics is their connection with short and long-term career sustainability.
