The most fascinating insights from the State of the Skills Report IMHO:
These emerging skills we hear so much about are not just for the Tech sector anymore. They are needed in all industries.
"In 2021, one in eight job postings featured four skill sets that share two startling common features. These high-demand sets of skills—in Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Social Media, and Product Management—are both among the country’s fastest growing and the economy’s most rapidly spreading into new industries. In some industries, skills from these sets are represented in up to a third of all job postings. They are showing up in surging numbers across the workforce, affecting an ever-widening diversity of jobs and industries and, together with similar skill sets, are entirely transforming work as we know it."
These changes are also affecting where the work can be done and what skills are demanded where. Job postings require these skills in all areas of the country.
Everyone from employers to educators, to parents needs to understand these trends so that we can create pathways for all of us learners at every age.
