Pearson launched new research titled For Every Future at the WorldSkills International Conference 2026 in Shanghai. The report identifies a growing 'triple capability gap' across skilled trade, technical, and service occupations that maintain hospitals, factories, and infrastructure. This gap is driven by AI reshaping jobs faster than training systems can adapt, alongside the retirement of experienced workers who take practical knowledge with them.
