Developing Career Adaptability and Resilience

This masterclass draws upon a range of international research and practical approaches for developing career adaptability in the workplace. Those who do not engage in substantive up-skilling or re-skilling through either formal learning or learning through work, for periods of five to ten years, run the risk of being ‘locked into’ a particular way of working. They become more vulnerable in the labour market, especially where there is a significant change in their job or their circumstances.
