2016 is coming to a close. Another year that sprung several surprises with regard to the job sector, is soon to see an end. Nine years down the line, will things be the same? Certainly not. There will be several new technologies that would require us to be updated, even as we might have to go back to the basics. So here are few skills that we might need in 2025.
The first is undoubtedly technology. New programming languages might come up in the years to follow, each presenting a set of challenges. As a report in popular site, livecareer.com says, “These may include new communication platforms, space exploration, and robotics that target manufacturing and healthcare”. Worry not, for, we can always look up online to learn the basics.
Next is the need to be proficient in a minimum of 3-4 languages. In this competitive world, candidates with the said skill, will definitely have an edge over others. It will also help them expand their scopes, as a multi-linguist will always be an asset to his or her organization.
As the report rightly says, “Such candidates hold a distinct advantage in the marketplace (and in life, generally). In ten years, this advantage won’t be obsolete. In fact, in an increasingly global world, language skills will hold more currency and provide more leverage than they do now”.
Healthcare is probably one of the most underrated fields today. But those who are smart enough, will understand that things will not be samenine years later. For a population that is ageing each day, the number of healthcare experts who are required to keep it up and running, is set to increase exponentially.
What is a nation without its economy? Economics has always been a safe bet, and will continue to be the same, irrespective of the times we are in. Going by the report, “The world will always need economics nerds and financial forecasters who can help the rest of us make sense of it all”.
