Date: Tuesday, 10 Feb 2026⏰ Time: Doors open at 7:30 PM? Location: Can Bar, 28 Carpenter St, #01-01, Singapore 059827?️ Speaker: Dr. Yang Peidong, Associate Professor, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University?️ Language: EnglishAI is no longer coming — it’s already here.From ChatGPT in the workplace to automation in finance, healthcare, and education, the rules of professional success are being rewritten in real time. For Singapore’s highly skilled workforce, the question is no longer “Should I learn something new?” but “How fast can I adapt before my skills become obsolete?”In this timely and provocative TapTalk, Dr. Yang Peidong, Oxford-trained sociologist of education and Associate Professor at NTU’s National Institute of Education, unpacks how adults actually learn in times of disruption — and why most lifelong learning initiatives fail to deliver real career resilience.Drawing on two decades of global research, Dr. Yang will explore:Why adult learning (andragogy) is fundamentally different from schooling — and why this matters in the AI eraWhich skills, mindsets, and cultural competencies make professionals adaptable, not replaceableWhether degrees and credentials still matter in a world of micro-credentials, bootcamps, and AI tutorsHow global mobility, identity, and inequality shape who gets to thrive in the future of workWhat Singapore must do to build a future-ready, human-centered learning ecosystemRanked among the world’s top 2% education scholars by Stanford University (2023–2025), Dr. Yang bridges education sociology, migration studies, and workforce development. His work helps policymakers and professionals understand how learning, opportunity, and technology intersect in global cities like Singapore.This isn’t another “AI tools” workshop.This is a strategic playbook for anyone who yearns for self-evolution and refuses to become obsolete.Come grab a drink ?, meet ambitious lifelong learners ?, and design the next chapter of your career — before the algorithm does.About TapTalksTapTalks is a social learning community that brings thought-provoking ideas to life in bars and lounges.
