By 2030, nearly 70% of the skills required for most roles will shift, with AI at the forefront of this transformation, says LinkedIn’s Work Change report. This fast-paced evolution is redefining skills across sectors. Additionally, today’s professionals are projected to switch twice as many jobs during their careers as those who started 15 years ago. This trend highlights the need for flexibility and lifelong learning.
LinkedIn’s latest “Skills on the Rise” report pinpoints vital skills driving future careers. These include:
- AI literacy

- Public speaking
- Solution-driven sales
- Customer relations

- Budget & resource allocation

The list perfectly blends tech expertise with irreplaceable human strengths.
AI skills are now indispensable, cutting across every industry. LinkedIn data reveals a 20x jump globally in members listing AI skills since 2016. In sectors like financial services, the growth has been even sharper. AI familiarity is fast becoming non-negotiable.
Traditional hiring based on degrees is fading. Skills-based recruitment—assessing what candidates can do—takes precedence as employers focus on capabilities over credentials.
To stay ahead, prioritize AI basics, sharpen soft skills like communication and flexibility, expand your skill range, and document your progress. Regularly updating your profile with specific skills ensures visibility.
The future belongs to adaptable, skill-focused professionals ready to evolve.
