This paper aims to present a theoretical analysis of a new educational type of learning styles for next generations. We are in a new era of technological breakthrough regarding Artificial Intelligence and Robotics that will change the jobs as we know them and will create others. In the next decades, machines and robots are expected to perform more current tasks than humans and there will be a need of new skilled workers that could program, design and handle the Artificial Intelligence. What happens with the ones that will be left out ? It will be a critical issue for the business to take a proactive role in supporting their existing employees through reconverting to new areas of competencies and the educational institutes to create an environment that facilitates workforce transformation. The change in the educational paradigm should have two key components: soft skills and technical skills. Soft skills are the key abilities for the ones that will reconvert from jobs that will disappear and technical skills are key abilities for the jobs that aren't created yet. The best scenario is the combination of the two skill sets and the challenge to combine them in a new educational platform for students and reconverting education for adults and elders. The studies show us that we are not proactive on the issue of preparing the workforce that will fill the job market in the future. This article will review a series of predictions regarding jobs that will be created based on the digitization of old industries, new technological areas and a modern way of education. | Keywords
