From the upper floors of Irish Life’s Abbey Street headquarters, chief executive Declan Bolger says the lesson of a fast-changing economy is straightforward: people cannot rely on the skills they leave college with to carry them through a working life.
Mr Bolger says workplaces are being reshaped by digital change and artificial intelligence, and he believes lifelong learning will be essential for employees in every sector.
