WHILE the demand for jobs is set to rise, the skills required to stay employed are rapidly evolving. To keep their jobs, employees will need to learn and relearn 40 percent of their skills over the next five years.

Several key factors drive this change, including technology, climate change, globalization, and demographic shifts. Of these, technology has had the most profound impact, especially the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). Employers are now facing the critical need to address technological disruptions and prepare for the future.

The impact of AI will be seen differently across sectors, acting as both a challenge and an opportunity. Filipino employers and workers must adapt to this technology-driven environment, supported by government, educational institutions and training organizations.

To address these pressing issues, the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) will host its 45th National Conference of Employers on June 25 to 26, 2024 at The Manila Hotel. This year's theme is "Job Generation in a Technology-Driven Environment." The conference will bring together experts, key government officials, industry leaders, employers, and their partners to discuss strategies for sustaining decent employment in the evolving landscape of "Bagong Pilipinas."

Register now and be part of the conversation that will shape the future of employment in the Philippines. For more information and to register, please visit https://bit.ly/NCE45ECOP or email registration@ecop.org.ph.
