Collaboration, communication, and problem-solving are a few skills you often see pop up in job descriptions, but for years, they have been relegated to "soft skills." They're helpful, but not essential especially compared to experience in a certain role.

However, that's changing. As technology is advancing, new jobs are being created every year. And because no one has experience in a job that has yet to exist, one's ability to learn, adapt, and work with others becomes vital to doing that job well.

Dr. Michelle Weise is the author of the award-winning "Long Life Learning: Preparing for Jobs That Don't Even Exist Yet." In this episode, she discusses how our careers are poised to change, the human skills that will help employees thrive, and the importance of continuous learning in a continually evolving workplace.
