Thanks to COVID-19, the future of work is here. Work, as we know, it has temporarily changed completely. From where, to how, and to some extent, even what our work entails has transformed dramatically in the past three months. As the health guidelines that dictate our lives change on an everyday basis, so does our need to comply accordingly. Gartner offers insights into the large-scale shifts in the workplace due to COVID-19. One of the new emerging trends is the separation of critical skills and critical roles.

Develop skills that potentially open multiple avenues

The increasing move to unbundle work from jobs shifts the focus from roles to skills instead. Today, the most in-demand skills are a combination of soft-skills and hard-skills. At IBM, we believe that making learning accessible is key to closing the skills gap, which is why we have partnered with some of the prominent MOOC providers to provide a wide variety of courses for you.
