ABSTRACT

The overwhelming and constant innovation in digital technology of Industry 4.0 is transforming the world of work, particularly employment, the way in which it must be provided and in what conditions it should be carried out. Studies and analyses of important research centres in universities in the United States have foreseen that in the near future a systematic computerisation of jobs and occupations will merit new professional skills for workers, thus breaking the current labour market, generating phenomena such as polarisation of employment, the digital divide and migration, each of which is paradoxically a product of the future of work. Resilience, as an essential tool to develop new skills required by Industry 4.0, is present in each individual, whether developed or not, helps in the productive processes, allows the individual to adapt to the new challenge based on her/his experience and knowledge, seeks stability in the employment and recognition of knowledge, and complements the new “how to do” with knowing how to do it better and well. For this, labour pedagogy must be present in every company, turning the factory into a school.
