Reskilling
Half of workers will need reskilling in the next five years. That’s according to WEF’s ‘The Future of Jobs Report 2020’. Automation and COVID-19 are proving to be a highly disruptive combination, with an estimated 85 million jobs likely to be displaced by 2025. On the bright side, 97 million new jobs are predicted to emerge to take their place. 84% of employers plan to rapidly digitalize working processes. Although knowledge of new-tech will be increasingly necessary, the forecast skills gaps includes skills like critical thinking and analysis, problem-solving and self-management, including active learning, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility.
