Future Scenario


Task like finding a job become increasingly more difficult

Imagine losing your job due to automation within your sector, which makes you eligible for unemployment benefits. After enquiring about the documentation needed you receive an exhaustive list to complete. This list is near impossible to complete and you’re sent round in vicious circles from department to department, where you finally end up at the job centre and have to start all over again.
