The Future of Work

Welcome to the Future Work : Beyond borders & Barriers

At Learning with Leong, we are committed to helping students and recent graduates develop essential learning attributes that will empower them to navigate the dynamic and evolving job market of the future.  The Future of Work program is designed to give students the best opportunities for new work arrangements and career paths, promoting a deeper understanding of the remote, freelance, and virtual roles that are shaping modern industries.

understanding the challenges

The transition to the future of work brings significant challenges, especially for new entrants to the job market. Young professionals may encounter several obstacles:

  • Fairness: Remote work environments may exacerbate inequalities, as students and new graduates often lack experience in remote professional settings, which can impact their ability to negotiate salaries and secure promotions. Additionally, unequal access to resources like high-quality Internet and workspaces can affect performance.

  • Efficiency: Adapting to digital communication and effective time management without the physical cues and immediate feedback of in-person interactions can lead to inefficiencies and misunderstandings.

  • Accountability: Proving productivity and reliability in remote settings can be daunting for those without an established professional track record.

  • Privacy: The blurring of work into personal spaces raises privacy concerns, particularly for those in shared living situations.

  • Maintaining Boundaries: Young professionals may struggle to set work-life boundaries, increasing the risk of burnout in ‘always-on’ digital workplaces.
