1 Building Strong Workforces to Power Africa's Growth
Roti Balogun – Chief Talent & Learning Officer, GE Africa We are the world’s premier digital industrial company. We transform industry by connecting people, data and machines. Living in perpetual motion, we are sensing, predicting and responding to make the world work better.

2 The Future of Work Sub-Saharan Africa – Powering Growth
Driven by interrelated and mutually reinforcing trends: Sub-Saharan Africa – Powering Growth Developing and retaining key talent in an emerging market The Global Brain, the collective intelligence of human beings across the globe integrated by digital communication, resulting in crowdsourcing, open collaboration, and a much faster pace of innovation; 12% 52% The Industrial Internet, which merges big data with big iron, integrating cloud-based analytics with industrial machinery, resulting in greater efficiency and reduced down time 19% 46% 20% 53% Advanced Manufacturing, which weaves together design, product engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, distribution and servicing into one cohesive intelligent system, delivering greater speed and flexibility at lower costs; 41% 27% Percentage of jobs in African economies that could be lost to automation Unemployment rate in African economies as of 2017 The Future of Work is driven by three interrelated and mutually reinforcing trends: The Global Brain, the collective intelligence of human beings across the globe integrated by digital communication, resulting in crowdsourcing, open collaboration, and a much faster pace of innovation; The Industrial Internet, which merges big data with big iron, integrating cloud-based analytics with industrial machinery, resulting in greater efficiency and reduced down time Advanced Manufacturing, which weaves together design, product engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, distribution and servicing into one cohesive intelligent system, delivering greater speed and flexibility at lower costs; Source: The future of jobs & skills in Africa – World Economic Forum (2017)

3 GE Africa Skills focus– A 3 prong strategy
Education 1 Digitalization 2 Localization 3 Stronger education system with closer links to industry Skills pipeline development leveraging digital technology Labor market flexibility and talent localization Leverage entrepreneurial and innovative spirit of youths through platform technologies. Leapfrog existing industrialization models & build future skills/capabilities relevant for the 4th industrial era. Better equipped technical schools and industry aligned curricula. Enhanced pedagogy (faculty development) and focus on future of jobs/skills (employability & entrepreneurship) Competence, skills and technology transfer, and local supplier development Foster the creation of makers movements and Fab Labs, where relatively moderate investments can provide entrepreneurial manufacturing activities.
