OCDE identifica habilidades que aseguran empleo

Noticias

Expansion.com/ POR ALBA CASILDA/

Mejorar las dotes de comunicación o saber trabajar en equipos remotos es la mejor vía para moverse en un escenario laboral en continuo cambio.

¿En qué aspectos confiarías más en los robots que en los humanos? ¿En qué áreas crees que actúan mejor las máquinas? Por ejemplo, ¿piensas que ámbitos como la seguridad o la sanidad estarán dominados por la tecnología en un futuro?

Los profesionales se deben preparar para la implantación de la tecnología en sus puestos de trabajo

Estas son algunas de las preguntas que se plantearon en el foro anual de la OCDE para analizar los factores que están cambiando el mundo del trabajo. La conclusión fue que si bien en profesiones como la de soldado la figura del humano seguirá siendo esencial, en determinados aspectos de la salud se confiará más en la tecnología y en sus probabilidades de éxito para tratar algunas enfermedades.

Tras esta reflexión, Amber Wigmore, participante de este foro y directora de carreras de IE Business School -socio académico del Foro de la OCDE-, destaca que en un contexto en el que los profesionales corren el riesgo de ser reemplazados, éstos deben poner mayor énfasis en sus competencias: «Hay que saber adaptarse a un cambio constante, conocer cómo se deben gestionar las nuevas situaciones y ser un experto en comunicación para explicar lo que cada uno aporta a la empresa. Hemos visto cómo la tecnología nos beneficia como consumidores y ahora tenemos que estar preparados para su implantación en el plano laboral. La cuestión es plantearnos cómo podemos aprender a aprender y cómo nos podemos formar en un escenario en el que muchas de las profesiones que serán clave dentro de unos años, hoy no existen»

Cada uno debe ser responsable de su propia proyección y estar atento a las nuevas tendencias

Además, esta digitalización también implica una alta polarización del mercado. Así, según establece la OCDE, la demanda de profesionales de nivel intermedio y responsables de tareas repetitivas no ha parado de disminuir y están siendo sustituidos por la tecnología, según los datos recogidos en la Unión Europea, Estados Unidos y Japón.

Por ello, el reto se encuentra en cómo los profesionales pueden potenciar esas habilidades. Un punto en el que es esencial que los sistemas de aprendizaje estén alineados con la empresa. En este sentido, Josep Maria Altarriba, decano de EAE Business School, considera que en el futuro entrarán en juego nuevos agentes para diseñar los planes de estudio y se consolidarán opciones metodológicas que combinen ambos mundos: el educativo y el de la empresa. Valentín Bote, director de Randstad Research, opina en la misma línea, pero añade que hay que tener en cuenta que «antes el desarrollo de cada trabajador estaba marcado por el progreso de la compañía, ahora el profesional tiene que ser el dueño de su propia proyección, estar atento a las tendencias del mercado y saber formarse por su cuenta».

-Orientación a proyectos. La formación en este punto pasa por conocer los nuevos modelos de trabajo, y en concreto, profundizar en cómo se debe estructurar un proyecto, qué sucede si se incumple alguna fase o cómo se debe actuar ante los imprevistos.

-Trabajo en nuevos equipos. «La gente suele asegurar que sabe trabajar en equipo, pero no es consciente de las nuevas formas en las que se configuran las plantillas. Hay que ser flexible y saber actuar en grupos en los que sus integrantes pueden trabajar desde cualquier lugar. Esto es algo que ya sucede en las grandes y en las pequeñas empresas», matiza Ramón Rodríguez, director de Másteres especializados y relaciones corporativas de ESCP Europe. También implica asumir quién se encarga de cada tarea y en función de qué, así cómo las actitudes para gestionar y responder a un conflicto.

En el futuro intervendrán nuevos agentes para diseñar los planes de enseñanza

-Comunicación. Los profesionales también tienen que aprender a poner en valor sus ideas de una forma muy atractiva en entornos presenciales y digitales. Por tanto, las habilidades de negociación y de síntesis para crear un discurso convincente son cruciales. Además, el nuevo escenario laboral va a estar marcado por los trabajadores independientes que prestan sus servicios a varias compañías. Para construirse una carrera basada en este modelo de trabajo es esencial formarse en habilidades comerciales porque «tenemos que saber vendernos a nosotros mismos, algo mucho más difícil que vender cualquier producto», añade Bote.

-Proyección de carrera. La tenacidad y la capacidad para plantearse un futuro a largo plazo son dos de las habilidades que Wigmore destaca como fundamentales para construirse una carrera. Unas competencias que deben reforzar especialmente los jóvenes. A la mayoría le resulta complicado pensar en lo que harán dentro de cinco años, sobre todo, en un entorno cambiante y para elaborar un buen plan de carrera recomienda dedicar esfuerzos a detectar cómo va evolucionar cada sector.

Tanzania: Girl Scouts Redefine Abilities

Noticias

Is it for girls?

Tanzania/ The Citizen, 21May2016

Resumen: El artículo hace referencia a la vivencia de las niñas de Tanzania que participan en el movimiento Scouts y los beneficios que les trae el desarrollo de habilidades como exploradoras que les permite manejarse de manera autónoma e independiente en contextos que suelen ser solo de hombres, debido a que interactúan con los niños, tanto que tienen la capacidad de tomar decisiones informadas acerca de sus cuerpos, y de ayudar a otras chicas que no son exploradores sobre cómo comportarse en torno a los niños.

«Girls need to know that there is a remarkable difference between Scout Girls and those who aren’t Scouts», says Rehema with a laugh. She knows that people think that if girls are scouts, they will be loose women because they constantly interact with boys. But she thinks that it is the other way round.

«It is because we interact with boys so much that we are empowered to make informed choices about our bodies. Actually, I always help other girls who aren’t scouts on how to behave around boys,» she says.

As a young girl training to become a nurse, Zahara has been empowered through training as a Scout. She says that she has great confidence in herself, a fact shared by all four girls. «Even when I am working in the wards, I find myself operating within the ethics of our training as Scouts – we have a duty (to perform) to other people. I am often asked by people, why am I not afraid of authority. People are often afraid of the police. I know that I am supposed to work with them and not fear them. Scouting has changed my perspective on this,» she says.

Heriet is currently a Form Five student at Jitegemee High School where she takes Geography as one of her subjects. She explains how Scouting has helped her improve in her studies, «As Scouts, we learn about life in nature.

I see what I learn in class vividly in nature. I have also learnt how to manage my time, since we are always timed in the tasks that we are given.»

On her side, Rehema testifies that she can now manage the house when her mom is away. «It has helped me do things quickly. I can manage time well. I can walk and save money. I am not lazy. And it has made me courageous. I am not afraid of men. Whatever task given to them, I can perform it as well, even better. I am a strong woman,» she says.

Assistant Chief Commissioner (Camp Sites), Devina Adosi, explains that The Scout Association was founded in 1907 by Robert Baden-Powell, a lieutenant-general in the British Army.

«Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best.» – is one of his famous words. This is why Scouts are taught how to care for others and for themselves – and how to become better people in their society.

As it was at the beginning when Scouts was founded, Devina says that they are soldiers with no intention of fighting or being easily recognized. She explains that there are four Scout groups based on age groups namely, Cub Scouts (6 – 10 years), Junior Scouts (10 – 15 years), Senior Scouts (16-17), Rover Scouts (18-26 years) and Scouts (27 and above). To become a scout, students can join the Scouts club in their school or join one nearest to their locality. Adults can also apply by registering at a Scouts office near them.

The Invisible Army

We are invisible, says Rehema. She explains that whenever you see a tragedy being reported on the news, the Scouts were probably there but no one thought to mention their contribution.

Zahara recalls in 2014 when people living in Jangwani swamp were affected by floods and relocated to Azania Camps. She was one of the Scout members who volunteered to help them at their time of need. She says they were able to save many lives and also assist in maintaining order at the Camp site.

«Be prepared» is what they keep saying to each other concerning any situation that they encounter. Devina explains that a Scout will never be stranded or unable to know what to do in a situation because they are trained to always be prepared. One of the things that most Scouts will carry with them is a scarf, even if it won’t be around their neck, it sure will be with them somewhere. A Scout can use this ‘neckerchief’ as a bandage in case someone they encounter is hurt. It can also be used as a dust mask, a sling, a napkin, a bib or a signal flag. They are governed by 10 Principles that reflect on their role to other people and to themselves.

In four minutes, Mwanahamisi Hussein (18), Heriet Komba (20), Zahara Kingalu (21) and Rehema Ramadhani (18), are able set up a tent in the woods without the help of a man. This isn’t the only impressive thing they can do. They can climb trees, cross over one side to another by gripping a rope. And most importantly; they can adjust themselves to adapt to any life situation, and to offer support to those in need. Their abilities are endless; they can extinguish a fire, save those who are drowning, give first Aid and peer education in their communities. They have been doing this for years now, Mwanahamisi being the longest member among them – 8 years in total.
