Tomorrow´s Skills

A global report offering a forward-looking perspective on the world of work, where lifelong learning becomes essential to grow, adapt, and stay ahead.

Four Key insights into the future of work

How is artificial intelligence reshaping our careers? What skills will truly make a difference? The Tomorrow´s Skills report, based on the voices of 15,000 people across 15 countries, explores the major challenges already transforming learning, employment, and competitiveness. Discover the key trends shaping tomorrow’s world of work.

Rebuilding learning

Traditional education is no longer enough to meet the demands of today’s job market. 38% feel it did not prepare them adequately, especially younger people and those with only basic education. In contrast, university graduates report greater satisfaction. 81% feel the need to keep learning, though cost and lack of time remain key barriers.

 

The skills marketplace

Digitalisation and artificial intelligence are reshaping the labour market: 70% believe new jobs will emerge, and 61% identify AI and data science as priority areas. Online learning platforms and soft skills are gaining relevance, yet lack of awareness and time continue to be major challenges.

A Crossroads of opportunity

Education, employability, and entrepreneurship are key pillars for sustainable development and must be addressed together. 43% believe companies should lead on lifelong learning, while 29% see it as a personal responsibility. A shared commitment is clearly needed now more than ever.

Regional perspectives

While trends are global, regional differences are striking: Europe leads in professional mobility but shows lower satisfaction with the training received. North America places greater value on practical and non-formal education, and Latin America stands out for its strong motivation to keep learning. Across all regions, AI, digitalisation, and soft skills are top priorities.
