FROM YOUR ULTIMATE SKILLS TO YOUR DREAM JOB: A SKILLS WORKSHOP

You have many skills.

But like an iceberg, we only see a small amount of our actual abilities.

This 1.5 hour workshop will provide a rapid overview of skills, and guide participants through a  brief set of exercises designed to help uncover new understanding about skills, interests, and other attributes.

The workshop will be led by Daniel Porot, whose company has run workshops, seminars and conferences for over 77,000 people in 30 different countries throughout the world, teaching over 50 different nationalities. Daniel co-taught with Richard N. Bolles (author of What Color Is Your Parachute?) at Richard's annual two-week summer workshop for 20 years.

COLLABORATIVE ONLINE INTERNATIONAL LEARNING FOR 21ST CENTURY SKILL DEVELOPMENT

University practitioners from South Africa, the Netherlands, Mexico, Venezuela and the United States will introduce Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) as a way for learners to develop skills to become interculturally-competent digital professionals.

Sitting at the intersection of learning and work, COIL is an approach to teaching and learning that has students address global problems in collaborative multi-national teams and pitching their solutions to NGOs, local government and other partners. COIL allows learners from around the world to participate in learning and upskilling driven by the needs of their local communities as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The workshop will be led by Sally Mudiamu, Director of International Partnerships & Initiatives in the Office of Global Engagement & Innovation at Portland State University.

REALIZE, REINVEST, RELAUNCH TO ACHIEVE WORK-LIFE HARMONY

Workshop leader: Reena Gupta, Mom Relaunch / Career Interrupted

Life is too short and precious to waste in the wrong career or be stuck in a place where you are unmotivated and under-appreciated. What if you could get in the driver’s seat and take control of your career? Isn’t it time you reinvested-–in yourself?

In this 90-minute interactive workshop developed from the book Career Interrupted, author Reena Gupta packs a lot of powerful career-coaching knowledge. Balancing your three-legged stool of friends+family, work, and wellness is a skill you need to work at, and Gupta provides tools and strategies for anyone to achieve work-life harmony. Discover the process of journeying inward to find your internal pain points, assess your values, motivators, strengths and weaknesses. Only then can you begin to align your core beliefs and talents with the right career path. This is an exciting opportunity to help you get over the hump and onto a career path that is rewarding both personally and financially.

SKILLS ONTOLOGIES ROUNDTABLE:

COLLABORATING ON A VISION FOR A GLOBAL SKILLS GENOME

Together, we are close to cracking the code on human skills.

Since the 1950s, governments, educators, corporations, and innovators have worked to understand and codify human skills. Information about our skills sits in corporate databases, on social media sites, in academic institutions - even in content that each of us creates.

Yet as with so many arenas that are undergoing rapid and disruptive change, when it comes to human skills, we use different words for the same abilities, and the same words for different abilities - even in the same language.

Today, many organizations and initiatives around the world have developed their own approaches to categorizing an inventorying human skills. We need to begin connecting those efforts, working together to create an open, global, interconnected "skills genome" information fabric that can help to create a better future of work and learning for humans.

In the same way that we have cracked the code on our biological genome,

together we can crack the code on human skills.

This 1.5 hour roundtable will bring together innovators from around the world to offer 1-minute overviews of their initiatives, and to discuss opportunities for insights and collaboration.
