An investigation to overcome the barriers to continuous learning
The digital transformation is redefining the world of work, with artificial intelligence (AI) playing an increasingly central role in production processes and in the skills demanded by the market. However, access to training to acquire these new skills is not equally guaranteed for everyone.
To analyse the challenges and opportunities of this evolution, the Centre for Public Impact, in collaboration with the Skills and Future of Work Division of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), has launched a research project to identify the occupations most exposed to the adoption of artificial intelligence and understand the emerging skills needed by workers.
One of the key aspects of the study concerns the difficulties that many people encounter in accessing training courses on digital skills. In particular, the survey focuses on groups with fewer opportunities, trying to identify the barriers that prevent adults from training and proposing solutions to make continuous learning more accessible and effective.
Our commitment to the training of young people, women and groups at risk of social exclusion makes us particularly sensitive to this issue and encourages us to promote this research so that it can collect useful data to guide more inclusive and effective policies. The results will help design measures to attract adults to AI training.
To participate in the survey, the OECD has made a short questionnaire available in several European languages. The survey, which takes about 15 minutes to complete, is open to everyone, even those not involved in the AI Opportunity Fund training programmes, and represents a real opportunity to bring out the real needs of workers and help design more targeted and inclusive training strategies.
