H‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍aving the confidence to be an independent learner is an important component of life and lifelong learning. As stated in the AAC&U Lifelong Learning Value rubric about independence “Educational interests and pursuits exist and flourish outside classroom requirements. Knowledge and/ or experiences are pursued independently.” Review this report from Deloitte (https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/insights/us/articles/22923_expected-skills-needs-for-the-future-of-work/DI_Expected-skills-needs-for-the-future-of-work.pdf). In this document, Deloitte surveyed how people felt towards automation and technology in relation to how prepared they were for the coming changes in the workplace and workforce. Please look specifically at‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ the following: Figure 5: Self-perceived proficiency in different skills on page 8. Figure 6: Perceived preparedness of other actors on page 9. Figure 7: Perception of policy priorities on page 10. After reviewing these figures and other parts of the report, please answer any of the following: With so much changing with automation and technology, how can independent learning help your career? How can people improve the skills listed in Figure 5 with independent learning? Which of these skills are difficult to improve without formal training? Although this survey was conducted in Europe, how do these responses and trends apply to the .? What else stood out to you, positively or negatively, from this report‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍?
