potential educational and career paths, here are
things to remember in the days ahead.

10. 4.0 Preparing for the Digital-
Ready Workforce
Education 4.0 essentially uses technology-based
tools and resources to drive education. The
concept of remote students, massive online open
courses, video chats or meets, voice calls, among
others, have become the norm in this age and
time.
Education 4.0 is developed as a response to
Industry 4.0, in order to create trained, qual?ified
professionals who are ready for a highly globalized
and digital-driven world of work. Hand in hand with
Education 4.0 is the concept of digital literacy.
Digital literacy is a per?son’s knowledge and
competence about ways to express, to learn, to
influence and to advo?cate using different
available digital platforms.

11. Wrapping up
Congratulations! Remember to be
confident, adaptable, and curious in the
world of work. Best of luck!
