In 2050, why retire when you can retrain?
An ageing workforce presents a future where the gap between a workforce’s eldest and youngest will be greater than ever, so how will they work together?
Weighing in on The Talent Time Machine, business coach Kim Neeson joins Cielo CEO & host, Marissa Geist, to consider how AI will simplify tech for older users, the irreplaceable skill of experienced judgement, and a new perspective on the career break.

Reinventing the career break

Pervasive tech and being ‘always-on’

Young and old generations combining their unique skill sets/experiences

AI facilitating work for ageing workers

Engaging everybody and allowing them to live by their values

The workforce of the future starts with an education tailored to a world yet to exist. As we delve into the evolution of the workplace in 2050, we’re fortunate to be joined by leading futurologist, Dr. Ian Pearson.
