A head start in career in IT
THERE are changes expected in the labour markets in 2020 due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is defined by rapid developments in previously fragmented fields, including robotics, nanotechnology, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, genetics and biotechnology.
With this, different skills are needed for a new landscape to flourish in the next decade. As a result, some of the existing labour might soon be redundant and up to 5.1 million jobs would be lost, according to a World Economic Forum report. While millions of human labour will be lost to efficient machines, it will create more job opportunities in areas such as computing, engineering and technology.
In Malaysia, there is a demand for technologists as the government believes that technologists play an important role in innovation to drive the 2050 National Transformation (TN50) that was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak during the tabling of 2017 Budget in October last year.
For that reason, today’s youth should enrol in Technology & Innovation.
