What's cooking on Your e-skills and Career Forum?
e-skills and Your
Career is a content program focusing on developing careers, acquiring
skills and building quality human capital in today’s knowledge economy.
This website, careeraware.com,
is the companion website for the program -
careeraware.com will contain all content broadcast on radio as well
as related content and ideas.
The purpose of careeraware.com
is to serve as a reference for the radio broadcast; and most importantly to
meet the need of those unable to listen to the program due to reasons of
location and or time. We value the interest of all individuals interested in
developing their e-skills, irrespective of location. Interested? Then key
in. The careeraware.com website is not limited
by location or time.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has
become a major tool for learning, work, and recreation. Information has
become the currency of this era and ICT is the driver.
ICT enables the exploitation of information in the workplace, in the
provision of public services and in the performance of the private sector.
The objective of e-skills and Your
Career is not simply on technology but is instead focused on
improving awareness of the skills, careers and most importantly the thinking
required by the knowledge-based economy. It’s
about having the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from the knowledge
society.
Information, knowledge and opportunity epitomize the digital era. People now
learn, work, interact anytime, anywhere. Large amounts of information can be
shared or retrieved in seconds irrespective of location. Knowledge is key in
all areas – social, educational and commercial. Physical resources are still
important but today knowledge is the driver.
The Global Knowledge Economy
Distance is no longer a barrier. There are global implications – all nations
are members of the global village. Technology allows easy and speedy
communication across different countries and regions of the world. Live in
Nigeria do business in Europe. What are the implications of the knowledge
economy? To remain relevant Nigeria needs competitive advantage in the
global, knowledge-based economy. Knowledge is the main source of competitive
advantage today.
The oil continues to flow, but this has not improved the quality of life of
the average Nigerian. Physical assets are no guarantee of prosperity and
sustainable development. Oil won’t be enough to be able to compete
successfully in the fast moving world economy. Nigeria is Africa’s most
populous nation with a population estimate of over 130 million people.
What is the potential of such a population? How can
the Nigerian people realize their potential? What is the future for such
people? What role should people play in developing a truly knowledge driven
economy? And how will they actualize such roles?
Awareness, Human and Intellectual Capital
Profiting from this environment requires awareness and a deep understanding
about ICTs and how ICTs can be used to improve our situations, to create
wealth and to benefit – to realize potentials. Developing a knowledge
economy requires more than the heavy consumption of mobile telephony
products and services. Technology is important, but people must drive the
knowledge economy. Information is a critical resource, infrastructure is
essential but people are the most important resource in today's global
knowledge-based economy.
It is people who will create, develop and use knowledge to drive the
knowledge economy. The new economy recognizes people, empowers people and
rewards them for their effort. The new economy is one of innovation and
opportunity – people should be able to use their knowledge, ideas, energy
and creativity to develop their careers and fulfill their potentials. It is
the knowledge, skills, ideas and creative efforts of people that lead to
innovation. The main source of value and competitive advantage in the
knowledge society is human and intellectual capital.
Skills, Careers and Thinking >>
Developing our ICT and e-business skills and Careers allow us realize our
potentials, while making sense of and contributing meaningfully to the
knowledge economy.
