The world is seeing a great shift in the way we work. The future of work is already here, and with it comes automation and ‘thinking machines’ that are taking on human tasks. As such, companies now look for talents with specialised skills to remain competitive. Covid-19 has also accelerated the adoption of technology in the workplace.
So, if you’ve just graduated and intend to join the workforce soon, don’t leave things to chance. To be prepared for the current economic climate and lengthen your career runway, you have to upskill to seize the opportunities available.
