With technology changing and shaping the way we communicate with each other and run our everyday lives, there is no wonder that the future workforce will be largely influenced by the online world.
As several industries, such as media and retail, move their presence online, it is inevitable that jobs which were popular 20 years ago are likely to become a rarity in the future.
So where does that leave today’s workforce? It is impossible to foresee the future, but you can predict economic trends and which careers are likely to take-off.
Less than 40 years ago computers were an innovative new concept and there is no doubt that almost everyone will need these skills to succeed in the workforce.
Therefore, jobs in IT and other online positions will be in top demand in the future, with more companies seeking an online presence for their enterprise.
With this in mind, social media has also revolutionised the way business is conducted, which will create a new workforce of specialists in this area.
From search engine optimisation experts to social media professionals, this sector is likely to explode as an increasing number of companies catch on to the benefits of the digital business world.
