Let Blockchain Save Your Precious Time

1. English Forward Let Blockchain Save Your Precious Time The world today is filled with uncertainty and the current education system cannot guarantee you anything beyond that if you study well you’ll get a certificate at the end of your course. Is getting a good education a guarantee you will get all of these things? The answer is most definitely...NO! 1 Current System Blockchain has turned the world upside down and forced people to rethink old paradigms, challenging the status quo. Universities and colleges are the master salesmen of peddling degrees that have no guarantee of future employment and success in life. Managers, doctors, bankers, lawyers et cetera end up being unemployed and disillusioned by the promise they were sold. The education-employer partnership that served humanity so well in the latter part of the last century is a relationship that is broken and cannot be reconciled in its current form. 2 Possible Causes Traditionally universities and colleges core focus areas are in educating students in areas with a diminishing job base rather than in areas with an exhilarating opportunity base Employers need tech and Digital savvy employees to help them develop the companies of the future, and instead, are offered employees that are trained in skills better suited to the jobs of the last century. This is creating a growing divide between the education – employment partnership, creating fear and uncertainty for young people starting out in their careers without the prospects of guaranteed employment. What we need to ask is if blockchain can help address the problems faced by the education – employer partnership or are we heading down a one way street of disillusionment for young people? 3 Some Solutions Learning English showed me another world where everything is enchanted.
