What Are the Top 10 IT Skills For 2030? Expert Predictions | Future Tech

[Music]
whoa whoa whoa what’s different what
well let me give you a hint we got a big
camera upgrade for you I’m so excited
this is I feel like can you see my pores
can you see every inch of dust on all of
the things this is the highest quality
camera I have ever owned I feel like I’m
this proper adult that has to take care
of this thing now um and I’m very
excited about it and the first thing we
are going to be filming with this new
camera is of course preparing you for
the future now when you’re looking ahead
thinking of 5 years from now you know
what the scary thing is it’s almost 2030
I mean yes let’s not get ahead of
ourselves it’s 6 years away not five but
it is really really
close like
this which brings up the question how do
you stay ahead how do you learn skills
today that will remain in demand or even
become more in demand in the future
that’s what we are going to go through
today all right let’s get into it oh hit
that subscribe button for more Tech
coding future Tech Career you know all
the good stuff related videos now let’s
get into
[Music]
it now listen don’t get me wrong these
list this list is going to be very
specific skills that you can learn but
we had to start out working our way from
number 10 to number one number 10 being
something you probably didn’t expect
always expect the unexpected that’s tip
number one I’m just kidding in all
seriousness though coming in at number
10 10 is actually soft skills now you
might be thinking Tiff these are skills
that are the most in demand in it for
the next foreseeable future for the next
6 years seven years why are you talking
about soft skills well the reality is
asz Tech is progressing at such a rapid
pace and also producing tools that
allows more people to be technical get
their hands in the weeds if you will
hands in the you know what I mean at a
quicker rate what will happen is soft
skills are continuing to become more and
more important if you want to stand out
so the question is how do you get these
soft skills well it’s definitely not
needed to take a course for soft skills
but if you are like me or millions
billions of others out there sometimes
your technical skills might initially be
stronger than your soft skills so you
need to work on them just like you do
your technical skills here are two
courses that I think are great one is
from corera which is effective
communication for professionals
specialization if you are someone who
often times feels as though they can’t
communicate what their thoughts are or
accurately get across what you want to
this is for you another one is by edex I
love edex I think they have some great
courses on the technical side but then
also too on the personal communication
side so this course is problem solving
and critical thinking skills now this
might be more relevant to people who
don’t come from a technical background
because it’s more of that critical
thinking that you are building and that
is something that you do get with
technical skills so that’s just
something to keep in
mind coming in at number nine is user
experience now this is an area that is
continuing to grow rapidly in demand and
can you guess why well for one reason
it’s because everything everything we
are building with AI now AR VR all of
this technology requires to have very
specific user experiences now more than
ever is ux and even UI in demand because
of that so what skills are required for
user experience for one you need to
focus on user research wire Framing and
user testing so this is a role that yes
you aren’t coding per se in it but you
also still need to be pretty Tech
technical but then on the other side you
also need to enjoy interacting with
people is you are going to be
interacting and testing with users or
potential users to gain their feedback
that is how you are going to design
these applications now you might be
thinking what are some courses for user
experience maybe you’re someone who
wants to break into that area you’re
further along in your career and it is
of interest to you we live in a time now
where you can go from one role to the
other I love any courses typically by
Google I would say you know they are
such a great company very credible and
it also doesn’t hurt to have a
certification by Google on your resume
so this course right here is called
Google ux design professional
certificate it is a great course if you
are looking to level up your skills
another one this is really cool I wasn’t
super familiar with this site but it’s
called interaction design foundation and
they offer really a wealth of knowledge
when it comes to user experience and
user interface so go check it out coming
in at number eight might be one that
surprises you at first which is actually
blockchain now if you are someone who is
in the blockchain space you will totally
understand why it is is an area that is
continuing to grow in demand actually
right now when you go on job postings or
look online blockchain is an area that
is most widely looking for people to
recruit which is very interesting now I
think here’s the thing blockchain can
sometimes get a little bit of a bad rap
but it’s not blockchain that actually
deserves this bad rap well I’m not
saying any technology does but what it
is also always Associated so closely to
of course is cryptocurrency which of
course two different things and
blockchain can be used for so many
different uh everyday uses especially
when you think of healthcare when you
think of schools universities that we
really need to separate the two so this
is something if you are interested in
blockchain this technology is here to
stay it is building our future we will
continue to use it and here are some
good courses for it now one is a
certified blockchain developer course
which you can see right here oh by the
way I’m going to link all these courses
down below the other one is a course by
IBM called blockchain Essentials which
I’ll also link down below now coming in
at number seven is something that
encompasses you could say many different
skills in a way but it’s still its own
Niche which is internet of things or iot
iot is something we interact with I mean
every single day from
our why can’t I think of an example
rewind this part all right we’re back
now let’s try this again Smart Homes I
mean smart devices are things we use
every day when we think of our
thermostats our locks nowadays the list
goes on and sometimes it’s even as I
just had there easy to forget what we
interact with with iot on a daily basis
because it’s so ingrained in Our Lives
nowadays there’s so much potential
though for you if you are looking to
upscale in an area to get involved in
iot it’s a fascinating industry a
fascinating job that you can really have
within it when you think iot you can
think of things such as embedded systems
sensor technology and wireless
communication protocols there’s so much
to it so because there’s so much to it
we need there’s no surprise there is a
ton of different courses on iot but here
are some of the top ones the first one
is Cisco’s certified Network associate
so this is a CCNA in industrial
certification so this is a really great
certification if you’re a bit further
along in your career and looking to
level up with a certification in iot
another one that’s more so for beginners
is iot fundamentals connecting things so
this is a course by corsera and if you
are just beginning your career in iot I
would definitely recommend checking this
one out next on the list coming in at
what number are we at coming in at
number six is devops now devops is
something that not only is in demand
right now but will continue to grow in
demand especially as Tech continues to
move faster and teams become more agile
devops will become even more essential
which kind of feels impossible at this
point now here are a few tools or
Technologies you will be working with
when in a devops role some include
Docker kubernetes and Jenkins now listen
in some roles you won’t be using all
that in others you’ll be using different
ones but those are a really good place
to start when you are looking into
devops now most people don’t just start
their it career in devops it’s something
that you come from either a software
development background I mean I’ve even
seen people more from the product
management side get into devop so there
is multiple paths you can take to get
into devops but of course one of the
best ways is through some courses AWS
has a great devops course it is called
AWS certified devops engineer and this
is professional level you can see it on
screen here and I’ll link it down below
another one I mean kubernetes is still
so in demand and such a niche skill I
think I remember about a year and a half
ago when I was job hunting I would
always see developer Advocate roles
specifically for kubernetes and it’s a
whole other world so that is why this
course here is dedicated just to that
which is kubernetes certified
application developer or CCAD CCAD you
know what I mean next on the list coming
in at number five is full stack web
development yes I know you see all these
crazy headlines of how AI is going to
overtake web developers we are far from
there and trust me when or if we ever
get there so many other rules will be
taken as well that we will have evolved
with AI in this Tech by that time now
what has happened though is this role
does look slightly different we are now
using these tools in our everyday jobs
to code better faster more collaborative
even it doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing
per se and you can see that by the
number of jobs that are still open and
in demand for full stack web development
so if you are someone who is thinking
should I learn how to code I feel like
I’m going to waste all my time learning
how to code and then AI is going to take
it over please do not let those thoughts
take over the reality is it is one of
the most in demand areas that you can
really put your focus to and learn learn
not only today but in the foreseeable
future as well and four courses on web
development I mean there’s endless ones
but one resource I really love to use is
free code Camp I mean one I used it so
much when I was first learning to code
two it’s free three it is it’s taught by
some of the world’s biggest experts
they’re thought leaders they’re such
great Educators and I feel like they do
a great job of breaking it down I I
really love free code Camp so any of
their courses are so well done and well
thought out I like also to they have a
lot of
smaller projects you can build so I link
them down below too coming in at number
four I mean it’s no surprise it’s the
new oil can you guess what that is data
and analytics these skills around data
science and analytics professionals they
are continuing to grow in demand data is
not running out we are continuing to
gather more and more data and often
times the quality of this data is
getting worse especially because of AI
we love AI but then on the other hand
it’s kind of muddling some Waters so if
you are someone who is interested in
data science or becoming a data analyst
either of those roles it is such a great
area for you to focus on not only for
now but to feel confident that what you
are spending time on now will evolve and
grow with these AI tools and other
Technologies in the foreseeable future
now there’s endless courses on data
science and analytics here are two ones
that really stand up to me though one is
IBM’s data science professional
certificate and the other is certified
analytics professional or cap now I like
both of these because you end up with a
really great certification and
especially for the IBM one it’s a great
way to have that big Tech well not big
Tech but what is IBM Consulting so it’s
not big Tech but it’s big four no it’s
not big four con IBM it’s a great
company you’re going to have it on your
resume now I feel like this one should
be number one for how hot it is how hot
it is yeah but it’s number three right
now and that’s because there are some
that are even hotter if you will I need
to find a new word other than hotter
that sounds weird but this is cyber
security and no surprise here cyber
security is coming more and more in
demand especially thanks to all the tech
coming out so quickly on one hand it’s
great techs coming out but on the other
it really enables people who maybe
shouldn’t have this technology to have
it and that is where cyber security
comes in now within cyber security there
are so many different areas that you can
focus in on that it’s kind of like this
interesting or exciting time that you
can really pick okay do I want to focus
on uh reverse engineering do I want to
focus on uh more on the security side
security within cyber security but there
are so many areas and facets to it that
are really exciting and this isn’t a
role that you have to be technical in
yes there’s a lot of technical roles
within cyber security that you can learn
and gain skills for but equally there
are so many roles on the business side
you need to be so knowledgeable about
cyber security practices as well now
coming in at number two is something
that was holding number one spot for a
long time just recently got pushed down
to number two which is cloud computing
this area is still so in demand skills
and knowledge within cloud computing is
continuing to grow in demand and will
for the foreseeable future now like all
the topics we have been covering today
there is so many different areas that
you can really focus in on with cloud
computing so make sure to do your own
research when it comes to cloud
computing but here are two Great Courses
I would recommend all right coming in at
number one is AI and machine learning
and I’m sure that’s no surprise
especially with our last few years how
quickly AI has grew into our everyday
lives it’s something that we use I often
times will Google things or I’ll
oftentimes use Claud or chat GPT to
search things instead of using Google
now which is just such an interesting
time to be part of now there are so many
roles Within These two fields that you
can learn about and grow skills within I
mean think about the business side of
things really understanding the ethics
with AI really understanding the
business challenges there are so much
there and then on the flip side things
such as machine learning Engineers are
one of the top well the top in demand
roles for 2024 so if you are someone
who’s already a developer or technical
individual I would definitely suggest
checking that out that being said though
this isn’t something something that you
can just shift right into it’s something
that people study for years and years so
if you are looking to get into these
areas it is a really great time because
it is so in demand that you might be
able to get some of these positions with
a little bit less experience and then
learn on the job now of course here are
some courses that are great for AI and
machine learning but just like all of
these courses that I’m recommending it
really depends on what area you want to
focus in on all right if you made it
this far in the video I am I love you
extra extra amounts because you made it
to the end comment if you made it to the
End by the way cuz that is really
awesome I hope you enjoyed going through
this these are some of the top in demand
skills in demand areas that will
continue to grow and they’re one of
these things that are really exciting
even if you aren’t in any of these areas
it really helps to be aware of what is
in demand and just start learning a
little bit on the side it doesn’t mean
you have to do a full career switch or
uh completely leave what you’re studying
now but just just start figuring out
what you are passionate about and
growing it that way all right make sure
to hit that subscribe button and I will
see you all soon oh also how would you
like the new camera bye everyone
