Make a WISE Gift
While you were away, work as we knew it changed. Many of the jobs that we had no longer exist. Most of the jobs that our grandchildren will have don’t exist yet. Even if we’re retired, we’re still affected by the changes in the workplace. The people who serve us, care for us, entertain and lead us, their work will change, and so will their relationship to us. We'll review the history of work, take a look at today's workday, and discuss some of what's to come.
Here is a link to the presentation materials for this course. Draft versions of the slides will be available prior to class; final versions will be updated the following day.
