core skills in 2030 will look nothing like yesterday’s. (new wef report is out yay!) let me explain. over the next few years, the skills employers value most will undergo a massive shift. this is already happening. what’s steady now might not be relevant by 2030, and what’s emerging today could define entire industries. a few points where it gets interesting: → ai and big data are already at the top, but their dominance is only growing. if you’re not upskilling here, you’re falling behind. it's a lot to handle i know... → resilience, flexibility, and agility—these are no longer just buzzwords. they’re essential in an era where change is constant. this has been true for a while (just read mindset but carol dweck and antifragility by taleb) → networks & cybersecurity and systems-thinking are climbing fast. protecting data and seeing the big picture will separate leaders from the rest. → skills like manual dexterity, reading, writing, and mathematics? fading from focus. automation is taking these over. if i'm to believe huang, manual labour as well → but skills like curiosity, lifelong learning, and creative thinking? these are becoming non-negotiable. adapting quickly and innovating consistently will define winners. be like water. the bottom line: you can see it happening already. the jobs of tomorrow aren’t just about hard skills—they’re about adaptability, systems-level problem solving, and the ability to lead alongside technology. those who master this shift—whether through upskilling or leveraging ai tools—will have a massive advantage. the future workforce is changing fast. make your mark. and try to have fun and do good along the way. | 17 comments on LinkedIn
