Although it is a reality that technology will make some of the current jobs automated and performed by machines, it is also true that these same innovations will encourage the creation of new jobs that will be waiting for trained professionals. Learn about 10 jobs of the future and the skills you need to develop.
Figures from the Future of Employment 2023 report prepared by the World Economic Forum (WEF) show that by 2027, 23% of jobs globally will be transformed. This labor revolution is being driven by factors such as the emergence and adoption of new technologies or the necessary changes in terms of sustainability.
Researchers from OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania conducted a study in which they stated that in the United States alone, close to 80% of the workforce could face affectations in at least 10% of their tasks due to Artificial Intelligence.

It’s time to develop your skills
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) projects that by 2050, just over 75% of jobs will require specialists with knowledge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics ( STEM).
This becomes an important area of opportunity for the new generations to choose a promising university career, but also for those who are already in the labor field to begin training to obtain the skills of the future.
Just as the workplace is transforming, the way you learn new skills must too. Perhaps it is time that people interested in taking their career to another level can do so in more accessible and faster ways than just through bachelor’s or master’s degrees that require several months, even years, to achieve.
There are organizations like Google that understood this and are offering courses that, with flexibility and online modality, make it possible to obtain a certification in specialties such as data analysis or project management in approximately six months.
So now you know, leave the excuses behind and look for those new skills that will help you stay active in a field of work that, in the coming years, promises important changes.
