Todays ifeong earners face a very different

word than their arents did. They wi ive onger

and have more freedom than ever to choose their

exeriences, socia networks, and vaues. The

roercoaster of scientic and technoogica (sci-

tech) change runs faster every year, sinning us

irreversiby toward a very extraordinary future. Our

anet is wiring u into one vast, instantaneous,

transarent and increasingy inteigent goba

network, which creates amazing new oortunities

for business and society.

Yet there are great chaenges ahead as we. The

word is now so interconnected that big robems

anywhere are becoming everyones robem. This

constant change wi require todays earners to

change their future faster, earn new technoogy and

networking skis more frequenty, and consider the

environment they ive in from an entirey different

ersective. They wi aso be chaenged to kee

earning every day and thus shoud exerience

these educationa duties as a right to earn.

The Internet and technoogica growth have induced

a aradigm shift, changing the way business is

conducted. The seciaized training and education

requirements for current and future emoyees

and the ack of access to diverse emoyee oos

contribute to the robems comanies exerience

in emoying a strong and diverse emoyee base.

According to recent studies, ICT skis are becoming

an increasingy imortant entry ticket to a evesof the job market. In addition, the same studies

indicate that most Euroean workers see the ga

between the exectations of and requirements

for ICT skis of their future emoyers and their

own actua skis increase year by year. The

ga between demand & suy for ICT iterate

emoyees imoses costs on business in the form

of ost roductivity, hiring and recruiting costs and

imits on growth. This cas for a different aroach

than the actions taken so far, such as changingthe ace of ICT education in our curricuums, and

boosting socia incusion through innovation and

The word is changing. The exonentia acceeration

of technoogy requires a new ski sets. Currenty,

the technoogy ga is ever increasing, which

means many students graduating and starting

their careers dont have the necessary skis to be

rocient in business environments. Aso, taking

into account the abundant ow of new information

being generated every year (estimates caim a

contemorary citizen gets resented more facts

and gures in one week of information gathering

than a citizen iving in the 18th century woud come

across in a ifetime), we shoud consider adjusting

our teaching methods in ine with this new reaity.

In the future, knowedge wi not ony be about

remembering facts, but about the skis to ter out

reevant information from this information ow. In

the 21st century, iteracy wi mean being abe to

adat to ever evoving technoogica means and

use them to instanty access the necessary and

reevant information on a certain toic.

The question to be asked is whether the current

traditiona teaching methods and environments

are suited to the task of teaching these skis.

So you consider making the switch and integrating

an i3 environment? How to get started? Dont

forget that to rea the benets of technoogy,

and to enabe earners to a rocient use in their

rofessiona ife, it has to be integrated into

the curricuum at an eary stage. The aim is to

roagate the use of technoogy not as a goa, but

as a too for imroving, and utimatey transforming

teaching and earning. However, integration of

any technoogy into any curricuum at any oint

requires reection about the necessary stes to

take and the outcomes to be achieved.

Another imortant oint is rofessiona

deveoment and suort for trainers and teachers,

which shoud reare them to be rocient in

using the technoogy and devise secic ways and

teaching strategies to ay it to their training

activities. We have to kee in mind that any

technoogy that is not easiy accessibe wi not beused on a reguar basis. As such, the question Are

we roviding the resources and training necessary

to be successfu in the 21st century society? not

ony aies to our chidren, but aso to our teachers

and trainers.

Technoogicay seaking the earning environment

of the future is here today. A technoogies are

avaiabe to address various tyes of earning

across various earning zones. Anytime, anywhere.

What we need though, is a soution. At VANERUM

grou, we are convinced of the benets that roer

use of technoogy creates. However, we are aware

that a number of rerequisites shoud be fued

before these gains can occur.

Easy access, a cear denition of the goas,

evauation of the best teaching method - be it

technoogica or not. As an exame, teaching verba

interersona skis might not benet from using

chatting rograms, e-mai or concet maing

software,...

Based on our exerience we wi very gady he
