Show Notes

Peggy Smedley and Irena Grugulis, chair of work and skills, University of Leeds, U.K., talk about a worrying trend in work and training—and some alternatives. She talks about how many employers are limiting or narrowing jobs and, as a result, narrowing training for those jobs, which leads to training without much learning—and why this can be both successful and counterproductive.

They also discuss:

  • Examples of industries using chatbots—and some concerning things to consider.
  • One specific example: how firefighters actually use their discretion in practice.
  • Lessons for elsewhere.
