Technology is already replacing human tasks and jobs are changing the skills that organisations are looking for in their workforce.

Automation and Artificial Intelligence, (AI), will affect every level of business and its people.

As more individual tasks become automatable, through AI and sophisticated algorithms, jobs are getting re-defined and re-categorised.

It is, however, important to note that, decisions, such as mass retrenchment and replacement of workers by machines, are largely management decisions, made by humans.

There appears to be a high level of human intervention, to steer the future of work, towards a more favorable development.

How will technology and AI affect the Nigerian employment landscape or the increasing workforce?

Will our response be one, to wait for the ‘inevitable’ change that will leave the majority of the workforce displaced, disadvantaged and unprepared.

Would it be one, which involves deliberate preparation by all actors, to empower and reposition the future workforce today?

A need now exists, to amplify our discourse, on the future of work in Nigeria and prepare ourselves on how to respond to the factors that will create mega disruptions.

Considering this, the Knowledge Exchange Centre, (KEC), career workshop 2, would hold on Saturday, May 11, 2019, with a full panel session on “Megatrends and Responses to the Future of Work in Nigeria.” Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata Jnr., (CFA), Presenter, Tech Trends on Channels TV, would set the pace rolling, as the moderator.
