THE ROLE OF LIFELONG LEARNING IN NAVIGATING THE FUTURE OF WORK

Abstract

The process of gaining knowledge and skills throughout a lifetime is referred to as lifelong learning. It encompasses learning experiences that are both formal and informal and take place in different settings. The trend of lifelong learning has accelerated and is driven by internal motivations, resulting in both professional and personal growth. It is distinguished by the capacity for meaning-making, or extrapolating significance from experiences and occurrences. The idea of writing one's thoughts down or altering oneself is another aspect of lifelong learning that suggests a higher degree of consciousness. It's a process that calls for ongoing education and the capacity to adjust to changes in one's professional trajectory. Participating in events like community service and informal adult education can help to promote lifelong learning. Philosophical stances, such as Friedrich Nietzsche's views on education, have also impacted the idea of lifetime learning. The workplace is evolving quickly, and employees who wish to stay competitive and grow in the field must pursue lifelong learning. Developing skills for current jobs, getting ready for new opportunities and career transitions, and maintaining intellectual curiosity and engagement at work are just a few advantages of lifelong learning.
