What will the future workforce look like? What skills do I need to thrive?

COMM5044 Adaptive Futures is a project based online practicum aimed at developing and applying a student’s business skills and knowledge to the future workplace.

We begin by examining the future of work. We look at the skills required to be successful as an individual, as well as the capabilities organisations need to remain successful in the rapidly changing global landscape. We focus on human factors - curiosity, creativity, empathy, and courage – capabilities that facilitate the effectiveness of the workforce, regardless of emerging technologies or other globalization factors.

We then partner with industry to apply these skills and capabilities to a real-life business challenge. An industry partner will present a problem related to their future workforce. In project teams, we investigate this challenge, workshop solutions, and provide a recommended way forward.

This course is delivered fully online and consists of pre-workshops modules, online discussion boards and three industry partner meetings.

Each practicum experience will be different depending on the organisations we partner with.

Attendance is required at all online workshops.
