Skills for the 21st-century workplace
Have you got the skills you need for the 21st-century workplace?
We need to develop all kinds of skills to survive in the 21st century. Some, like ICT skills and knowledge of the digital world, are taught explicitly in schools in the UK. Here are five less obvious ones for you to think about. These are the sorts of skills that employers may ask you questions about in interviews, so it’s a good idea to think about how good you are in these areas. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Imagination
In the age of technology that we are living in now, it is no longer enough to keep on making the same products. Employers need people who can imagine new approaches and new ideas. Think: Think of an object or gadget you use every day. How could it be improved? Can you think of three improvements?
Problem solving
Employers will value workers who are able to see problems before they happen and come up with creative solutions. Think: Imagine you are organising an end-of-term social event at school. Think of some problems that you could face. Can you think of any solutions?
Communication skills
Workers will have to be good communicators. They will have to be able to negotiate and discuss key issues and also write in a clear way without using too many words. Think: How do people communicate with each other in the 21st century?
Critical analysis
Employers want workers who are able to recognise the difference between information that can be believed and false information.
8
Think: Use the internet to find out three facts about a celebrity or famous figure. Can you verify the information by checking other websites?
Decision making
Individual workers have a growing amount of responsibility. It is important to be able to evaluate a situation and be confident in making a decision. Think: Which three things could you do to (a) be healthier (b) do better at school and (c) help others? Make a decision now to do at least one of these things. Then … just do it!
3. Underline True or False for these sentences.
1. 21st-century skills are not taught in schools in the UK. True False 2. Employers like workers to be imaginative. True False 3. Employers want workers to think about possible problems. True False 4. Employers like workers to be original when solving problems. True False 5. Future workers will need to be able to write concisely. True False 6. People communicate with each other less in the 21st century. True False 7. Employers believe it is useful to know a lot of information about celebrities. True False 8. Employers don’t want workers to make decisions without asking them. True False
Extra practice Complete the sentences with a word from the box.
have / make / value / differentiate / develop / discuss / teach / solve
1. UK schools and colleges ____________________ ICT skills.
2. Employers ____________________ people with ideas for new approaches.
3. Employers like workers who can ___________________ problems.
4. Workers need to be able to ____________________ their work with their team.
5. Workers need to ____________________ their writing skills.

Interview with Henry Smiles
He’s the most popular member of one of the most popular bands in the world. We met Two Direction’s Henry Smiles to find out why he has so many female fans.
Let’s get the basic questions out of the way first, Henry. How old are you and where are you from?
I was born in 1996 and I’m from Harrogate in the north of England. Now I live in London.
What are your likes and dislikes?
Well, I love music, of course, and sleeping and eating. And my dislikes? I don’t like it when I’m late for things.
25
What are your favourite films?
Spider-Man 2 and X-Men were pretty cool.
Is there anything that you’d like to be able to do?
I wish I could play the drums and the piano.
You are famous for your great hair. Would you cut it or shave it off?
Maybe I’d shave it off for charity, if I could raise a lot of money for doing it.
Do you like social networking?
Well, I don’t go on Facebook very much, but I do use Twitter a lot. It’s a good way to keep in touch with our fans.
Now the more interesting questions! Have you got a girlfriend, Henry?
No, not at the moment. I’m single!
What kind of girls do you like?
I like girls with a good sense of humour, who don’t take life too seriously. I also like being able to call someone in the middle of the night for a chat if I need to.
Do you prefer blondes or brunettes?
Oh, I like both! If we can have a laugh and we get on well, I don't care what colour hair they have.
Are you romantic when you’re in a relationship?
I reckon I am. I’d do anything for love!
Who did you have your first kiss with?
My first kiss? Hmm, I can’t remember very clearly, but I think it was with a girl at school when I was about thirteen.
Tell us a secret, Henry.
I still get really nervous before a concert and have to drink herbal tea! Even today, after having done hundreds of concerts, my hands sweat and my heart beats really fast just before going on stage .

The day was extremely hot and I had been waiting at the bus stop for half an hour. Suddenly, my phone rang. I jumped because I wasn’t expecting a call from anyone. Just then a bus came round the corner. The driver was very pale and looked as though he’d seen a ghost. He drove straight past the long queue of people. Everybody yelled for him to stop and waved at him. However, he took no notice and carried on. I looked at my phone. Someone had sent me a message. It said simply, ‘Don’t get on the bus!’
