CTF Education Group establishes 'World of Work' Institute

The future of work is undergoing a massive transformation by the concepts of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and creating shared value (CSV). In face of a fast-changing environment, CTF Education Group (CTFEG) envisages to help the younger generation develop the relevant skills crucial to the future workplace in a post-Covid world, and establishes the ‘World of Work’ (WOW) Institute in collaboration with New World Group. 

The launch of the initiative was announced at the inaugural ‘Future World of Work’ Principals Conference on December 2. Through the extensive ecosystem of New World Group, the corporations are innovating and giving back in order to nurture communities, enabling the next generation to thrive. 

The conference brings together education and industry professionals to share insights and exchange ideas on post-Covid trends and competencies crucial to life planning of the future generation. Drawing over 130 industry leaders, practitioners, principals and educators, the conference concludes with success and receives positive feedback.

“To advance K-12 education, WOW Institute identifies the need of collaboration and will mobilize industry stakeholders and a myriad of resources to ensure education stays relevant with the evolving rapid developments in the workplace,” says Jennifer Yu Cheng, Deputy Vice Chairwoman and Group President of CTFEG.

“New World Group’s ecosystem is co-curating a better future with the community at heart through creating shared value, which ties business success to social progress,” she adds. “Similarly, at CTF Education Group, we are on a mission to empower the next generation to be future-ready.”

Jennifer Ma, Chief Strategy Officer of CTFEG and Convenor of WOW Institute, notes, “The Fourth Industrial Revolution is changing the way we work at an unimaginable pace, which makes it more important to afford our youth the tools, skills and real-world competencies they need to flourish in the working world.”

“WOW Institute aims to create shared value by making K-12 education relevant in the real world. We are delighted to successfully launch our first transdisciplinary principals conference, ‘Future World of Work,’ and there will be more initiatives to come, featuring leadership exchanges, research collaborations, curated apprenticeships, and networking mentorship events.”
