Zombie Jobs: The Future of Work
Zombie jobs are those at risk of being replaced by artificial intelligence, robotics and virtual reality. But the biggest challenge preventing us preparing young people for the opportunities of the 21st century, is outdated, 20th century thinking about the job market. We're accidentally preparing our young people for the wrong century.

Additional training on Dysgu
This slot is designed to allow time for you to check that your mandatory Dysgu modules are up-to-date.
We have launched a new e-learning module about Additional Learning Support (ALN), which provides a useful overview of ALN legislation, along with our approach to supporting learners who have ALN and how you can access key support information about learners via college systems.
You can also find a number of sustainability and net-zero e-learning modules via Dysgu. These modules have been created by the College, with funding from Welsh Government and then rolled out to colleges across Wales!
A 4-part AI learning series is also available, so, take your pick! All of the above can be found via the 'Additional Courses' tab when you log in.
You can access Dysgu here: https://dysgu.bridgend.ac.uk
Use Google single sign-on (your usual college login details) to access the system.

Your manager will share with you a link to a team Google Meet, for a final facilitated session of reflection and takeaways.
