The future perspectives for Nordic engineers in the new world of work To mark the 10 years of cooperation, the Association of Nordic Engineers, ANE has organised the workshop: The future perspectives for Nordic engineers in the new world of work on 15th May in Stockholm. In the new world of work and evolving environment, innovation competences are essential for graduates and professionals to be successful. The disruption caused by automation and development of new technologies challenges the education systems, polarises the labour markets and affects our lives. The emergence of new sectors and growing impact of the artificial intelligence demand new skills and competences, and call for the modernisation and agile responses in all sectors. Innovation is one of the driving forces in each society, and engineers play a crucial role in contributing with their creativity and knowledge. The engineers, like all other employee categories should prepare their mindsets for responses to the disruption created. The workshop has engaged participants from the three founding organisations: IDA, NITO and Sveriges Ingenjörer in the knowledge sharing on the best practices and discussion on the new requirements for skills, diversity in the workplace and impact on engineers’ work, as well as the role of engineers in ethics standards. More particularly, the participants had a chance to discuss how their organisations could help their members to remain competitive and secure their employability in these times of constant change. In addition, the following questions were further explored: How can the organisations secure a decent and safe working life for their members in the future? How to ensure that each engineer prioritises ethical considerations in the design and development of autonomous systems? The workshop provided a platform to: Inform about the new ANE strategy and activities, Share ideas by demonstrating the existing good practices, Engage participants in the discussions on the current challenges, Formulate recommendations for the way forward.
