The workplace

What will a career in the 21st century working world be like? How do you stay employable and make your career a success in a rapidly changing workforce? What knowledge, skills and experiences do employers look for in graduates? How do they recruit?

As the world changes, so will the workforce and the nature of the jobs we do. Many of the jobs available today didn't exist ten or more years ago. To thrive and stay employable in the 21st century workplace, you will need to consciously manage your career and continue to build skills throughout your working life.

Employers are well aware of the change that characterises the 21st century workplace. So when they're recruiting graduates, they look for certain kinds of experience and generic skills that can be adapted to fit new circumstances.
