In today’s rapidly evolving job market, understanding career resilience has become increasingly vital for both individuals and organisations. Job Tech, a leading Al talent development and management platform, has partnered with the Institute for Adult Learning (IAL) to conduct groundbreaking research aimed at assessing and enhancing career resilience among workers.
The Importance of Career Resilience
Career resilience refers to an individual’s ability to adapt to changes and challenges in their professional lives. As industries evolve due to technological advancements and economic shifts, workers with high career resilience are better equipped to navigate job transitions, embrace new opportunities, and sustain their employability.
Collaboration Overview
The collaboration between JobTech and IAL focuses on developing a comprehensive Career Resilience Score. This score will serve as a diagnostic tool to measure an individual’s ability to cope with workplace changes. By analysing various factors such as skills adaptability, emotional intelligence, and professional networking, the score aims to provide actionable insights for individuals looking to enhance their resilience.
Research Methodology
The research involves surveys with a diverse group of workers across different sectors. Participants provide data on their experiences with career transitions, ongoing skill development, and their perceptions of job market trends. The data is then quantifiedusing exogenous & endogenous parameters such as:
Skills profile benchmarked against leading market indicators; growing or declining trends,
Individual demographics & job vulnerability, and National statistics such as employment and manpower outlook from multiple Government Ministries and Agencies
Conclusion
The collaboration between JobTech and the Institute for Adult Learning marks a significant step towards enhancing career resilience among the workforces. By developing the Career Resilience Score, we aim to equip individuals with the tools they need to thrive in a constantly changing job landscape. This initiative not only benefits individual career growth but also contributes to the overall resilience of the labour market, fostering a more adaptable and prepared workforce for the future.
