An era of automatization in work, due to advances in robotics and artificial intelligence is coming. What will be the most important skills to be successful in the future labor market?
Automation, robotization, and intelligent systems have increasingly opened up new horizons for development, and the often complex tasks involved make the world of work difficult to adapt and transform. This is why, in the field of education of training, it will be necessary to follow this increased development. One can ask questions about the best orientations of disciplines aroused in order to maintain this rich and constant development. In my opinion it will be necessary to respond to a real need for consumption while aspiring to a measured profit.

The impact of robotics (e.g., new designs/material), AI (e.g., machine learning) and information and communication technologies (e.g., IoT, cloud/fog computing, cyberphysical systems) will be tremendous. The development of new skills on above-mentioned disciplines/areas is a must. However, other skills will be very important such as Ethics and Fundamentals of the New Economy.
World War 1, 2 and ????? Spie camera, self guided weapons, man less borders watch, without manpower, self driven (labour less) vehicals, planes, tenks, ships and submarine and with satellite watch, only with technology with out arm forces(labour) one could win, the impact of robotics and artificial inteiiigence have no limit for implementation could be as intelligent as the user(master), could be applied to labor market as needed......
Soft skills, such as teamwork, will continue to be key, even as we develop new technology. Ability to work together and respectfully share ideas will result in the successful completion of projects; individual brilliance is nothing without a team to implement it.
To be successful in labor markets we should be updated with new technologies and should able to develop a product that is low cost and is more upgraded than a recent version, user friendly , reducing the risky jobs which humans cannot handle.
Interesting question. And curiously interesting range of responses.
Most of the responses (and not all, I have to point out) have to touched upon technical skills. I am wondering: in the eyes of those who point to technical skills, what is going to be the future of work for those who have no technical skills? It is a fact that are going to be people who have no aptitude for technical, scientific subjects or disciplines. Should these people be left high and dry? Absolutely not.
Coming as I do from industry, where we did recruit people with degrees in technical skills, I have to say that technical skills alone will not be much of help to remain in the jobs, to move up the career ladder, etc. Technical skills will become dated; a person with a programming skills will find that AI and robotics demand new skills, new ways of thinking and not everyone with IT skills will be able to make the transition to new areas, new challenges.
Given the aforesaid, I would say these are necessary:
1) Not resting on laurels, but acquiring new skills, or put in another way, continuing to learn and acquiring new knowledge and skills – continuing education might be the way forward; if you are the product of a university where assessment is in the form of multiple-choice questions, and there no examinations that require analysis, evaluation and discussion and writing, I would say you are not fully prepared for the real world where problems do NOT come with a list of options to choose from; the real world presents problems where the aspects are complicated and one will need to determine which aspects are salient, which can be ignore, which will need more thinking and working on;
2) Thinking outside the box, moving away from familiar things and willing to try one’s hand and applying one’s mind to other areas than the familiar;
3) Improving problem-solving skills; one cannot solve problems if one does not look around and see problems; everything can be improved upon, and even made cheaper, more efficient, more effective, more reliable, etc, etc.
4) Anticipating problems and thinking about and trying to prepare oneself for solving them, even a non-technical problems, and believe you me, there are so many problems out there that need solutions that are not of a technical nature.
So, all you non-technical people, please do not despair and there is hope, but please do acquire some knowledge of IT or at least know what IT’s limitations are.
The views of Nancy Glover's are worth paying attention to, as also the latter part of what M Lafifi says in relation to education.
Hola Gregorio. We are starting a European project on computational skills and critical thinking as fundamental competences in the present and future work environment. I leave the link to the project where we will update the results. I send you a warm greeting NASCR - https://www.researchgate.net/project/New-Adults-Competences-for-Skills-Revolution-Erasmus-Plus-KA204-Programme-Ref-2017-1-IT02-KA204-036729
