THE PURSUIT OF SKILLS FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK

Companies around the world are in pursuit for new occupational categories which require people to acquire new skills. The landscape of work has already started to change with Jobs being more flexible, society is experiencing the rise of gig-based economies, automation, and artificial intelligence, which have all combined to usher in a new era of work and learning. Workplace skills in a wide array of industries are expected to change largely due to new technological developments.

Traditionally, work has been about mastering a set of skills and then using them until retirement. This scenario is different now. Technology-related and non-cognitive soft skills are becoming increasingly more important in the workforce, as well as the ability to be adaptable to new situations. One of the major aspects of work that has changed in the last couple of years has been the emergence of the gig economy, where businesses can temporarily hire workers for a set period of time to work on projects. Technical skills are becoming increasingly desirable as companies are shifting towards a fully immersed digital world.

This high demand has already started pushing companies find new venues of getting customized talents suitable for the businesses they are in. Another catalyst for the rise of demand is the extend of automation happening in organizations which call for special tasks which needs human touch of special skills. Workers will be increasingly working alongside machines, so more skills are required to make the most out of the machines, and have them perform accordingly. Building customized skillset will be one of the most important tasks heading into a new decade. Another challenge is meeting the fluctuating work schedule of business. More companies are hiring temporary work force for their business needs.
