The last few years have presented numerous challenges, including health crises, economic uncertainty, geopolitical instability, and rising social and environmental pressures worldwide. These shifts have had a profound effect on the workforce and will continue to influence the demand for specific skills in the future.
A recent LinkedIn report indicates that job skills in India have already changed by 30% due to the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), and this rapid transformation suggests a global increase in demand for new skills by 68% by 2030 as AI continues to revolutionize workplaces.
To succeed in the evolving job market, jobseekers must take a proactive approach to adapt to these changes, with an emphasis on developing the skills that will be in high demand in the years ahead.
World Economic Forum has predicted that 50% of all workforce will need to upskill within the next five years as companies are increasingly seeking professionals with the most in-demand and rapidly growing skills.
