Future of Work – Employment Skills & Education – World Economic Forum 2016

July 15, 2023

The scale of the employment challenge is vast. The International Labour Organization estimates that more than 61 million jobs have been lost since the start of the global economic crisis in 2008, leaving more than 200 million people unemployed globally.

Nearly 500 million new jobs will need to be created by 2020 to provide opportunities to those currently unemployed and to the young people who are projected to join the workforce over the next few years.

At the same time, many industries are facing difficulty in hiring qualified staff. One 2015 survey found that, globally, 38% of all employers are reporting difficulty filling jobs, a two-percentage-point rise from 2014.

Vikas Jain has over 20 years of Industry experience as tech leader, principal consultant, motivational keynote speaker & founder of WTT (WorldclassTechTalent.com).  He is a consultant on AI & Product Innovation.

Through his initial 8 years at IBM and McAfee, he discovered what Top 1% performers do differently and applied these principles to crack Microsoft. However, instead of joining Microsoft, he chose a different path — to share these insights with others. He founded WorldclassTechTalent, to provide consulting services, IT recruitment & staffing services, research talent strategy to build top tech talent and mentor software engineers and tech leaders to break into top companies.

Over the past 12 years, he realized that these principles are not limited to tech — they can be applied by professionals and leaders across any industry on how to “Change Your Orbit”, using strategies of top 1% leaders. Hence he has delivered 500+ corporate sessions for global companies like HP, DELL, ABB, EssilorLuxottica, Yamaha, Oracle, McAfee and coached professionals at various levels.

He is an award-winning global speaker, author, podcast host, consultant, published articles in leading newspapers, and featured on Zee Business, Josh Talks (4M+ views), Speaking Tree @ Times Group, Dainik Bhaskar and more. He received the “Most Inspiring Motivational Speaker of the Year” from EEMA. In 2021 alone, he delivered virtual keynote sessions across multiple countries including France, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, Southern Africa, the United States, Bangladesh, and India, which shows the global relevance of his work and message.
