2.Managerial evolution and new challenges in the workspace will demand fresh learning interventions for managers, placing greater emphasis on conflict resolution and the integration of DEI.
3.Skills will hold greater value than degrees.
4.AI will reshape work dynamics by creating new types of workforce opportunities instead of reducing them.

1.Cognitive skills, especially complex problem-solving, are rapidly gaining importance.
2.Creative thinking surpasses analytical thinking in significance.
3.Technology literacy is progressing at a slower pace.
4.Surprisingly, self-efficacy skills are growing faster than collaborative skills, highlighting the need for resilient individuals.
5.Socio-emotional attitudes like curiosity and self-awareness are gaining prominence.
6.The top 10 skills include systems thinking, AI, big data, talent management, and service orientation.
Traditional skills like reading, writing, and mathematics are declining. Ethical skills make their debut, reflecting a growing emphasis on ethical conduct in the workplace.
Changing trend for trainers
Taking these trends into consideration, we, as trainers, should concentrate on improving our knowledge and skills in areas such as adaptability, managerial flexibility, creative thinking, and complex problem-solving. Soft-skills trainers can delve into learning and teaching ethics, self-efficacy skills, fostering curiosity, and promoting self-awareness, among other aspects.
