Challenge 2023

Reto TecPrize 2023

Description of the Challenge

 

How can adults expand the personal and work skills they require for their development throughout life and to participate in the transformation of their communities?

 

About the Challenge

We are currently immersed in what is known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a period of accelerated transformation driven by technological advances such as artificial intelligence, automation, robotics and digital connectivity. This phenomenon is drastically reshaping the employment landscape and consequently redefining the way people acquire and apply skills throughout their lives.

The job market is metamorphosing at a breakneck pace. What were once cutting-edge skills can now become obsolete in a matter of years, if not months. This means that the learning process is no longer a stage that concludes with the obtaining of a university degree or technical institute diploma; it has become a continuous journey throughout life. Occupations and careers are constantly being reshaped, and people must adapt to stay relevant in the job market.

In this context, the notion of skills has evolved significantly. It is no longer just about theoretical and technical knowledge, but a set of skills, competencies, qualities, talents and knowledge that are needed to excel in the world of work. Furthermore, the way we acquire these skills is being transformed by the proliferation of new technologies and learning approaches.

Universities, technical institutes, online platforms, and workplaces play crucial roles in this process of acquiring lifelong skills. These institutions and environments are expected to be agile and adaptable, capable of providing personalized and accessible learning for a variety of people, including those previously excluded from the traditional education system.

In this dynamic context, the acquisition of skills becomes a cumulative process, where people must be willing to constantly learn and adapt as labor demand evolves. This challenge stretches from youth to adulthood, and understanding and addressing it is essential to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

 

That is why at TecPrize we look for solutions that:

  • That they use innovative technologies giving access to higher education or quality lifelong learning to millions of adults.

 

  • That enable the recognition of skills and competencies acquired informally or formally.

 

  • That they provide the educational tools, knowledge and the necessary support to adults in contexts of vulnerability.

 

  • That have an impact on the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) related to caring for the planet, the gender gap, quality jobs, or a dignified life.
