Abstract
The rapid pace of technological advancements and the growing complexity of global challenges require a dedicated focus on continuous learning and skill development. The skills that may be sufficient for current job roles can quickly become obsolete as new job skills emerge. To remain relevant in the face of evolving work environments and the demands of a volatile global economy, numerous countries have recognised the crucial role of workers’ adaptability and continuous learning throughout their working lives. Thus, adopting a mindset of lifelong learning is intricately linked to the individuals’ ability to constantly equip themselves with the necessary skills to thrive in the future for sustainable employability. This concluding chapter will summarise the key insights and findings presented by the chapters of this book as well as provide recommendations for research, policy and practice.
