The Reskilling Revolution Platform

The Reskilling Revolution platform is a World Economic Forum initiative designed to address job displacement and skills gaps caused by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It targets 1 billion people by 2030 using a three-pronged approach: five Forum-led 'Lighthouse' initiatives targeting 250 million people, Partner-led coalitions targeting 600 million people, and company-led programmes targeting 150 million people.

• The Fourth Industrial Revolution is projected to create 133 million new roles while simultaneously displacing 75 million jobs due to new technologies.
• The Reskilling Revolution platform seeks to provide new opportunities to 1 billion people by 2030 through three operational approaches: piloting replicable templates via 'Lighthouse' initiatives, supporting Partner-led multistakeholder coalitions, and catalyzing corporate leadership in human capital investment.
• The platform's target of 1 billion people is divided across three delivery channels: Forum-led initiatives (250 million people), Partner-led coalitions (600 million people), and company-led programmes (150 million people).
• The World Economic Forum has established five specific 'Lighthouse' initiatives to empower the global workforce: the Closing the Skills Gap Country Accelerators, the Preparing for the Future of Work Industry Accelerators, the Promise of Platform Work Project, the Skills Consortium, and the Education 4.0 Initiative.
