These skills of the future will make you rock the job market!

The development of digital technologies and AI is changing the modern labour market at a very fast pace. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs report, up to half of all employees will need to retrain by 2025. Which skills will significantly increase your professional standing and allow you to spread your wings?

Until now, the difficulty for women at work has been the hostile attitude of some employers towards mothers, unequal pay compared to men, or the glass ceiling. Nowadays, it it is good to be open to active learning and ‘befriend’ new technologies, and artificial intelligence. The Economic Forum estimates that digital technologies and AI will replace 85 million jobs by 2025. Nearly 100 million new jobs will be created that will require more interaction between a human and a machine. Rest assured, AI will not take away our jobs, but it will support us with simple and repetitive tasks.

We commonly do not associate robots with friends. However, artificial intelligence does not possess soft skills nor emotional intelligence. New, well-paid professions will not revolve solely around new technologies and digital challenges. Empathy, creativity, critical thinking or a holistic view of an issue will also be in high demand.
