School, IOT and Industry 4.0
According to the international Tomorrow Jobs Study, 65% of today’s students will work on jobs that do not exist yet. From Augmented Reality Experts to Social Media Strategy, from Data Scientists to Reputation Managers, in 30 years, the Internet has constantly created new professions, organisational models and styles of life. The web and Wi-Fi have given rise to the digital nomads that work in any corner of the globe. What is the impact on citizen’s quality of life? Building smart cities is not enough, we require “sensible” cities that can provide answers to the needs and desires of people. And 70% of Millennials dream of working in a purposeful company, an objective-oriented enterprise.
Today, Wednesday, October 5, at 10 am at the Phyrtual Innovation gym (Rome, Via del Quadraro 102), the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Cisco launch “IoT Phyrtual Innovation Gym,” an original educational project that will help thousands of Italian students to learn how to tackle the challenges posed by the economy and the job market.
Project “IoT Phyrtual Innovation Gym” is part of a $100 million investment by Cisco that will last two and a half years and involve 20,000 upper school students, providing them with the skills necessary to undertake a career in the technology sectors.
