Career Essentials Series: Thrive in the Transforming Workplace free online event: 11th June 2026 12:00-13:30 BST

The workplace will undergo more change in the next five years than it has experienced in the previous twenty. AI is a key driver of this, even for ‘non-technical’ roles, and the ability to harness AI in your work is key to success regardless of the sector you work in. And it doesn’t stop there. According to QS, the skill type experiencing the biggest increase in demand among employers is green skills.
