As artificial intelligence, technological disruption and shifting workforce demands reshape economies around the world, understanding future skills readiness has never been more important.

The QS World Future Skills Index 2027 evaluates how well countries are equipped to meet the evolving demands of the global labour market. Designed to support governments, policymakers and education leaders, the Index offers a comprehensive view of the factors driving future skills development, talent readiness and long-term economic resilience.

In this webinar, we will explore key findings from the Index, and discuss the trends and standout insights from this year's report. We will also provide an overview of the methodology underpinning the Index and what it reveals about preparing for the future of work.
