LinkedIn identifies the top ten tech skills in Malaysia and the three best ones you need
LinkedIn, The world’s largest professional network site rolled out their Future Skills of 2019 report which identifies the top 10 rising skills in the region within the past half decade by monitoring the skills listed by members with the highest month-on-month growth. The results of the study are interesting indeed and paint a picture of what skill sets you need to be in demand in the coming future.
According to LinkedIn, the top 10 rising skills in demand are:
-Artificial Intelligence
-Workflow Automation
-Compliance
-Social Media Marketing
-Robots, Process Automation
-Front-end Web Development
-Blockchain
-Gesture Recognition Technology
-Continuous Integration
-Human-Centred Design
All these skill sets jive with the needs of a modern, technologically enabled workforce and most existing jobs in the market today will likely need it in the future or, more likely, already use it in some form or fashion. The report also listed down the top three rising skill categories in each country compared to the APAC average. For Malaysia – time to take notes down, everyone – the three following skills are the ones that may most likely net you that next increment:
According to Feon Ang, Vice President for Talent and Learning Solutions Asia Pacific, LinkedIn, “As digitalisation continues to transform the workforce at a rapid speed, certain skills are becoming less in-demand simply because different skill sets are required to navigate such transformation. It is therefore important for organisations to have a deep understanding of their current talent pool, and how to evolve it for their long-term business goals. Helping current talent to upskill or reskill early can help organisations ensure that their future talent needs are met.”
She adds,“While we encourage organisations to tap on real-time data and insights to help inform them about trends in the talent marketplace, we also believe that embracing a culture of learning is just as important for organisations to remain resilient amidst a rapidly changing workforce.”. “At the same time, employees need to be empowered and motivated to learn on their own terms, given difficulties in finding time and accessing opportunities, said Ang.” To peruse the report in all its glory swing by here.
