It argues that while predicting the future is very difficult, this has not prevented a wide variety of commentators from seeking to make such predictions. Covid-19 has resulted in a substantial reimagining of the future of work. Prior to the pandemic, the future was imagined as one of automation, digital technology, globalisation, and the reduction in the utility of human beings unless they could increase their adaptability and flexibility. After the pandemic, the future of work is characterised in terms of a shift to remote working practices, accelerating technological change, growing unemployment, and inequality. Such changes have led commentators to call for increased government engagement in the economy and the workplace, and for new thinking and investment from businesses to manage the changes. Such shifts and changes, if they come to pass, require an active and robust response from career educators. Educators should encourage students to view predictions about the future critically, to recognise their contingency and support them to take both individual and collective action to shape the future. 2023-02-01T13:13:36Z 2023-02-01T13:13:36Z 2023 chapter 9781032081144 9781032081137 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/61150 eng application/pdf Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International 9781003213000_10.4324_9781003213000-5.pdf Taylor & Francis Mapping the Future of Undergraduate Career Education Routledge 10.4324/9781003213000-5 10.4324/9781003213000-5 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb 09338578-cf30-4934-95a4-ce384748f00a 9781032081144 9781032081137 Routledge 15 open access
