Conference “The labor market of the future – evolution or revolution?”

 |  Category: SPCleantech News

On 18.09.2024 from 09:00 to 14:00 SPCleantech, together with the Municipal Labor Office in Krakow, is organizing a conference on economic transformation in the perspective of changes in the labor market entitled “The labor market of the future – evolution or revolution?”. The conference will be held at the Zabłocie 20.22 Socio-Economic Innovation Cluster, Zabłocie 22 in Krakow.

What will the labor market look like in a few, a dozen or so years? What skills will be desired by employers? Which professions will disappear, which will be automated or robotized, and which will not face revolutionary changes in the near future?

Conference Program

  • “Competencies and the future labor market – will robots replace humans?” – Jacek Kwiatkowski from the Małopolska Chamber of Local Government Foundation will attempt to answer the question of how the changing labor market will affect future career paths. The speech will refer to the idea of ​​lifelong learning as a key element of adaptation to new realities.
  • “Innovative technologies revolutionizing modern industries” – Antoni Życzkowski from Astor will present the latest technological solutions in the field of automation, robotics and intralogistics. He will focus on the role of employee adaptation and the necessary skills that will allow for effective functioning in a changing work environment.
  • “The impact of the new EPBD (building) directive on the employment of qualified workers in the construction industry” – Janusz Kahl, President of the non-profit South Poland Cleantech Cluster, Danish, Finnish and Icelandic honorary consul in Krakow, will attempt to analyze the challenges related to the implementation of the National Building Renovation Plan in Poland. He will discuss the demand for new jobs and competences that will be key to implementing plans related to the European Green Deal.
  • “Artificial Intelligence and the Future of the Labor Market: Challenges, Opportunities and New Horizons” – Kamil Mielnik from Learning Solutions will discuss the growing role of artificial intelligence in the labor market. The speaker will present how AI can become a support tool, not a threat, and how employers and employees can prepare for the upcoming changes.

The labor market will undergo a significant transformation in the coming years. As the economy and new technologies develop, the number of available jobs will change. Automation, digital technology and artificial intelligence have a huge impact on the labor market, contributing to the creation of new positions that have never existed before. It is crucial that we have knowledge about the transformations taking place in the market. Understanding the essence of changes will allow us to make informed decisions regarding education, training and professional development. That is why the issues of retraining, acquiring new competences and consciously planning a career path are so important. We must be prepared to constantly learn and acquire knowledge if we want to keep up with the changes and be competitive on the labor market.

Employers must also be prepared for the transformation process taking place in the economy, as they will have to face the development of advanced technologies. This will require financial outlays on the development of infrastructure and employee training. Employers’ readiness for change, as well as adaptation to new conditions, will have a decisive impact on their future. Awareness of employee competence gaps and the willingness to eliminate them will be the key to maintaining the competitiveness of companies on the market.

One of the elements closely related to the labor market is education. Education, qualifications, and professional competences, which are the result of teaching, must constantly follow the needs of employers. From the perspective of preparing future generations for the challenges posed by the changing labor market, closer cooperation between the education system and the employment sector is becoming crucial. The effect of joint actions should be the adaptation of the educational offer to the specific needs of local labor markets.

The conference will be an excellent opportunity to explore key issues related to the future of the labor market and exchange experiences among experts, career advisors, decision-makers and market leaders. The event is aimed at people who shape employment policy, manage human resources and advise on professional development. Participation in the conference will allow you to gain the necessary knowledge and tools for effective planning of strategies that will meet the challenges and opportunities of the future. We encourage everyone who wants to actively influence the shape of the modern labor market and make decisions of strategic importance to participate.
