Welche Future skills werden heute nicht in der Schule entwickelt? Welche Future skills werden auch nicht in den Unternehmen entwickelt? Wie wird die Zukunft aussehen, wenn Nix verändert wird?
Frequently Asked Questions
Laut Nia fehlen in Deutschland in den nächsten fünf Jahren rund 700.000 Menschen, die technisch in der Lage sind, die digitale Zukunft zu gestalten. Miles ergänzt, dass es dabei nicht nur um klassische IT-Experten geht, sondern laut Stifterverband zusätzlich über 2,4 Millionen Erwerbstätige fit für digitales Arbeiten gemacht werden müssen. Diese enorme Dimension zeigt, dass der Fachkräftemangel eine zentrale Herausforderung für die gesamte deutsche Wirtschaft darstellt.
Future Skills umfassen Kompetenzen, die für die moderne Arbeitswelt unerlässlich sind. Miles betont hierbei insbesondere die Notwendigkeit, Erwerbstätige in Bereichen wie agilem Arbeiten und digitalen Lerntechniken zu schulen. Neben technischem Know-how in Robotik und KI geht es also auch um die Fähigkeit, sich in einer digitalisierten Umgebung flexibel zu bewegen und kontinuierlich weiterzubilden, um den Anschluss an die technologische Entwicklung nicht zu verlieren.
Die KI-Transformation ist ein entscheidender Faktor für die Zukunft der Wirtschaft. Nia erklärt, dass Tech-Unternehmen bereits darauf brennen, diese Technologie zu nutzen, da Schätzungen zufolge künftig zwei Drittel aller HR-Prozesse automatisiert werden könnten. Während die technologische Entwicklung rasant voranschreitet, besteht die große Herausforderung darin, die Weiterbildung in den Unternehmen so zu gestalten, dass die Belegschaft mit diesen automatisierten und KI-gestützten Prozessen Schritt halten kann.
Nia äußert im Gespräch die Sorge, dass Deutschland sehenden Auges in eine Sackgasse läuft. Während der Bedarf an digitalen Fachkräften massiv steigt, wird in Schulen oft noch über die Grundsatzfrage diskutiert, ob Tablets im Unterricht ablenken oder helfen. Diese Diskrepanz zwischen der schulischen Realität und den Anforderungen der Wirtschaft, wie sie Miles und Nia beschreiben, gefährdet die Ausbildung der notwendigen Experten für Robotik, KI und agiles Arbeiten.
