The Evolution
of Skills 2030

“As AI technology and programming languages evolve rapidly, the most important skill will be adaptability. Professionals must embrace lifelong learning, continuously updating their skills to stay relevant, while leveraging emotional intelligence to identify skill gaps.”

“In nearly every job, basic digital literacy is required to work with data and IT. Flexibility and the ability to learn will also be key. In terms of specific roles that will emerge in the sector, I believe those related to AI, especially large language models and big data, will be critical.”

Marek Spanyik

Project Officer at Automtoive Skills Alliance

"If I had to choose top skills for the future, the first would be communication—particularly with the rise of AI. While technology makes communication easier in terms of the effort required, interpersonal communication can suffer. People might use AI tools like ChatGPT to respond to emails, but relying on these tools can weaken real-world communication skills."

“We're undergoing a lot of transformation.So we have to ask ourselves - how can we start preparing our workforce to adapt to these changes smoothly, how can we bring our workforce into a situation where they can thrive.”
