The 21st-century career
Offering employees a rewarding career used to be easy: You’d hire a
bright young person out of college, plug him into an entry-level role, and then
watch him climb the corporate ladder over the years as he progressed toward
retirement.

The company could plan for this continuous process hire people based
on their degrees, help them develop slowly and steadily, and expect some to
become leaders, some to become specialists, and some to plateau.
Today this model is being shattered. The days of a steady, stable career are
over. Organizations have become flatter and less ladder-like, making upward
progression less common. Young, newly hired employees often have skills not
found in experienced hires, leaving many older people to work for young
leaders. And the rapid pace of technology makes many jobs, crafts, and skills go
out of date in only a few years.
But hold on. The world of careers doesn’t have to be so difficult and
unforgiving. Organizations can adapt their career strategies and help people learn
faster and continue to stay engaged.
Let’s examine what a “career” really is. The traditional idea of a career has
three components:
A career represents our expertise, our profession, and ultimately our
identity. It defines who we are and what we do. This form of self-identity makes
changing careers dauntingly difficult: What if we switch careers and fail? Then
who are we?
A career is something that builds over time and endures. It gives us the
opportunity to progress, advance, and continuously feel proud. When we are
asked to change our career or path, what happens to all we have learned? Do we
throw it all away? Or can we carry it forward?
A career gives us financial and psychological rewards. It makes life
meaningful, gives us purpose, and pays us enough to live well. What happens if
our career suddenly becomes less valuable, even if we still enjoy it? Should we
continue to make less money or jump to a new path?
The changing world of work has disrupted all three elements: expertise,
duration, and rewards. And as scary as this may be for employees trying to stay
ahead, it’s equally disruptive for employers who must try to hire and develop the
workforce of today, tomorrow, and five years from now.
It used to be that only certain types of jobs think of computer
programmers and IT troubleshooters needed constant training and upskilling.
Now, all of us are expected to continuously learn new skills, new tools, and new
systems.
Today, anyone who wants a shot at a well-compensated position should
consider developing skills in math, statistics, and logical thinking; comfort with

data is increasingly essential. It’s safe to say that anyone who lacks a basic
understanding of science, technology, engineering, and math the STEM fields
will likely find limited career options.
That said, STEM no longer tells the whole story of skills in the 21st
century. Tasks based on math, science, and engineering are vulnerable to
automation, so they should be complemented with soft skills and other strengths
as well.
While the core need for technical skills remains strong, another theme has
entered the job market: the need for people with skills in communication,
interpretation, design, and synthetic thinking. In a way, we can think of these as
the arts, hence the evolution of education from STEM to STEAM.
What does it mean to add arts to STEM? The jobs of the future require
social skills complementing more technical abilities.
In short, we have to blow up the traditional career model and work to
make it easier for people to take the skills they have and use them in new roles
within the organization.
No one would suggest that dealing with the career dynamics of the future
will be easy, for either employees or employers. It’s important to actively
redesign our learning organizations, rethink our job models, create more hybrid
roles, and throw away our traditional ideas of the up-or-out approach to success.
