Welcome to the skills of the future
Reimagine learning
Join bp and The Smarty Train for free virtual learning experiences to help you upskill and prepare for your future.
Our series of 75-minute virtual sessions will introduce you to five key skills of the future. We will be running two sessions per skill, please select the session which works best for your timezone.
Acute emotional intelligence
In a physically disconnected, screen-driven age, learn to properly understand your own feelings. This will help you massively increase your ability to identify emotions in others to supercharge your ability to work effectively with other people.
In this session you will experience the benefit of naming your emotions, the impact of emotional contagion and the importance of acute emotional intelligence at bp.

Partnering with artificiaI intelligence
Sci-fi films often show AI in the workplace as being something to fear, with rogue machine-intelligence taking over. But what is the reality? After all, AI is going to be one of your new co-workers in the future.
In this session you will explore what these AI / human partnerships actually look like now and could look like in the future. Crucially, you’ll explore how to partner effectively and ethically with AI.
