PIG is a purpose-driven digital design agency. Our purpose is to prepare students for the future of work by combining life-long learning with real-world experience. That's why we've launched our PIGPEN, a Professional Education Network of students and mentors! Australia has experienced its first recession in three decades and the youth underutilisation rate is estimated to have to reached more than 60% (May 2020), levels not seen since the Great Depression. The good news, however, is that the future of work is here to stay and young people are actually far more prepared than they probably realise. Here’s why… - 50% of all employees will need re-skilling by 2025, as the adoption of technology increases - 90% of future jobs will require digital literacy - Critical thinking and problem-solving top the list of skills employers believe will grow in prominence in the next five years - Newly emerging this year are skills in self-management such as active learning, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility, with a third of the workforce predicted to be engaged in flexible work However, with any new opportunity comes a new level of competition, so our PIGPEN was designed to help give you that edge!
