However, from my perspective there are many areas that today are no longer considered “good work” only due to ignorance. Every day I see how digital transformation is having a direct impact on the Latin American professional and labor environment.
It is increasingly common to see that in retail or manufacturing companies of products such as water tanks, food and raw materials, the technology departments are the ones with the highest growth; not only technology or financial companies are leading this boom. That has caused vacancies in IT to multiply, but the talent is being scarce to fill those positions.
A key point to update ourselves on the subject of vocational guidance is to carry out an analysis to connect the dots between the trends, the data of the profiles that are in demand in the current labor market and those that are becoming obsolete and even at high risk of disappearing. .
According to Gartner, the technology trends that will set the course for many businesses are accelerating growth, sculpting change, and engineering trust.
The first uses technologies that provide recovery and growth so that organizations can reach new and better markets; professionals in artificial intelligence, automatic systems and user experience will see their demand increase.
Technologies focused on sculpting change optimize the operational part of companies to adapt and reorganize according to market needs; specialists in hyperautomation, decision intelligence and assembly of applications (that is, the specialists in the Internet of things, that is, those who program and connect the communication between robots and all automatic systems) have a promising future.
Finally, engineering trust is key due to its objective of minimizing the risks when handling large amounts of customer and user information, adding value to companies through the use of technologies such as cloud-native platforms, cybersecurity and architecture in the fabric of data from multiple sources. sources.
In my opinion, this data is essential to provide better job orientation and start training young people who are currently in basic and secondary education. Knowing now which careers are in decline and which are on the rise could help them make a better-informed decision.
How good it would be to know the role that can be occupied in a company along with the salary range that can be aspired to in that career. That data is more public today and offers a broader picture than we had previous generations. For example, today a cybersecurity specialist has a salary of 36,500 free per month, a security consultant business intelligence earn 40,500 monthly free.
