Occupational Training in the Future of Work explores how societies can prepare people for meaningful careers in a rapidly changing world. Technological disruption, environmental imperatives, demographic shifts, and the growing demand for equity and inclusion are transforming how we define, access, and engage in work. This timely volume offers a multidisciplinary response to these challenges, presenting forward-looking insights and evidence-based strategies for navigating the evolving landscape of work At the heart of this collection is a central question: how can education and innovation work together to build a more adaptive and inclusive workforce? Contributors from across academia, industry, and policy explore what it means to be "career-ready" in the 21st century. They examine how higher education can better align with labor market needs, and how alternative credentials, data-informed approaches, and non-traditional pedagogies can open new and equitable career pathways. Whether you are an educator, policymaker, employer, or researcher, this book offers practical guidance and critical perspectives on the future of occupational training. Occupational Training in the Future of Work is an essential resource for anyone committed to building a workforce that is resilient, responsive, and ready for the challenges ahead.
