Course Overview

Have you ever been concerned about the impact emerging technologies have on the condition of the workforce? Have you ever wanted to create a better workplace for you and the future generation? If the answers to both of the questions are yes, then you may benefit significantly by enrolling in edX’s Shaping Work of the Future online course. The program takes you through the actions that you can take to shape the future workplace in a way that benefits everyone.

To shape the future, we must understand the past and the present first. Therefore, the certification course in Shaping Work of the Future takes you through a journey to employment policies and regulations that have led to how workplaces operate currently. Moreover, this course also provides actionable insights into how the digital age governs modern offices and its relation to people, work, and society.

After you’re done with the past and the present, you’ll have a look into the future as well. You’ll learn the essential facets of policymaking and develop a novel social contract of work. By the end of the eight-week course, you’ll acquire enough mettle to design a personal action plan that you can implement within your own organization.
