Deloitte’s Future of Work Institute™

The Future is Human

We are living in an era of continuous change for both workers and employers. The “shelf life” of most technical skills is less than three years, and human skills–curiosity, critical thinking, problem-solving, logical reasoning, and others–are more important than ever before. As technology disrupts and fundamentally changes the way we work, human skills are an essential component of how members of the workforce navigate the ongoing evolution of their work. Deloitte's Future of Work Institute^TM provides a unique approach to rethink workforce preparedness and development around the human skills that will keep employees relevant regardless of technology or industry change.

The evolution of the Future of Work Institute™

Deloitte’s Future of Work Institute™ was co-created with 10 higher education institutions in 2021 and has since expanded to include multiple customizable program offerings that can be delivered in person or virtually. The Institute now offers a suite of learning, convening, and strategic planning offerings that guide organizations, students, and employees to prepare, perform, and pivot throughout their workforce journey. To date, more than 25 institutions and organizations and more than 1,200 program alumni have participated in the Institute and its convenings.
