For the first time, the Skills Demand for the Future Economy report highlighted 24 top job skills that are expected to grow in demand, based on prediction modelling, a technique used to anticipate future demand.
These include care economy skills such as effective client communication, as well as digital economy skills such as qualitative analysis and software design. These skills were also highlighted for being highly transferable across sectors and job roles.
Industry 4.0 skills, which refer to using automation and smart solutions to improve processes in manufacturing, were also featured in this forecast.
Such skills, ranging from process engineering design to technical writing, which requires communicating complex information, are expected to be in increasing demand over the next two years.
This is the third edition of the report published by Skills Future Singapore (SSG), having studied job posting data between 2012 and 2022.
The report also provides citizens with updated information on skills that have remained in high demand over the past decade and career pathways for specific jobs.
Minister of State for Education and Manpower Gan Siow Huang launched the latest report at an event held at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre on Nov 17.
She said that individuals will be able to make informed decisions by using the report as they plan their skills journey to achieve long-term career goals.
She added that mid-career transitions will become more common as people move within and across job sectors.
