Our podcast chat with Tom Cheesewright, Applied Futurist:

Listen to us chat with Tom Cheesewright, the applied futurist, author and broadcaster, about careers of the future. We discuss what the labour market may look like in years to come, the skills that will be most sought after and how you can best prepare for a career in an ever-changing world.

Think about your career in the long term and the things you are good at; the things you enjoy; the things that the world needs; and the things that people will pay you for....ultimately you're trying to get to a point in your career where you've got a balance between those four.

(Tom Cheesewright, 2022)
