Gaining new skills will put you in a better position to take advantage of the move to a digital economy that’s been accelerated by the pandemic.
History also shows that waves of technological innovations continually create new jobs that we couldn’t previously have imagined. Many jobs that will exist in, say, 2030 may not yet exist today.
