The digital revolution of the 21st century, and later the pandemic, made significant adjustments to the global labor market. Hundreds of important professions have become a thing of the past. In their place, completely new ones were formed, both in high-tech industries and in traditional ones, but already with an emphasis on the total digitalization of the economy.
Yes, according to the results of the research of the Trenkwalder expert agency https://group.trenkwalder.com/en/ which are published in a report entitled “Professions of the future 2020/2030” the rating of professions that will be in maximum demand in the future is as follows:
Medical field
Petro Matan, Trenkwalder’s national key customer and business process development manager, claims that from the point of view of demographic changes in Europe (the aging of society), among interesting professions, with a large number of vacancies and high salaries, the medical industry will rise widely. Based on available research and forecasts, the demand for personnel will increase by at least 10% during the next decade and by 25% in the next 30 years, if viewed only through the lens of European countries. This applies to the entire spectrum of positions: doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, trainers, paramedics, people who care for the elderly, nutritionists.
It is also worth noting that there will be a demand for specialists in the medical field who are currently unavailable. Today, there are a large number of companies involved in tracking a person’s physical condition using special chips and sensors. FitBit tablets or special tattoos such as VivaLNK – nanochips that are implanted in the skin – are gaining more and more popularity. These sensors can monitor all vital health indicators online and create a complete medical record in the cloud, to which the attending physician has access. With the future development of this technology, specialists who will deal with the development and implementation of these sensors will be in demand all over the world.
Renewable Energy Engineers
As a result of the negative impact of man on the environment, side effects are increasingly manifested: thermal, chemical, radioactive pollution of the environment in combination with a rapid decrease in readily available fuel reserves, especially oil, gas and coal. Unfortunately, mankind has fewer and fewer options for energy production, and renewable energy is one of the safest and most promising. Mankind faced the need to create energy installations that use the energy of the Sun, wind, and water to solve the energy issue. This direction is very promising, because this energy is continuously renewed and practically inexhaustible. According to statistics in the USA, in 2021-2026, the need for engineers specializing in photovoltaics will increase by 115%, and in wind energy – by 95%. These changes will affect most countries, as even more attention will be paid to green energy production.
Skilled and unskilled workers
Among the 10 positions for which it is most difficult to recruit employees in Europe, employers indicated such as: machine operator, electrician and electromechanic, forklift operator, production worker, warehouse worker. In the post-Soviet space, one can observe a clear shortage of such specialties as cooks, cashiers, teachers, locksmiths, welders, turners, installers, concrete workers, and carpenters. Basically, these are professions that were ignored by the modern education system in the last twenty years and were not interesting to the younger generation, which caused the current shortage.
Despite automation and the use of new technologies in a large number of areas, there will always be a demand for skilled workers.
IT and programming
Incomes in the IT industry will be well above average for many years to come. This is due to both the constant shortage of specialists and the high cost of this industry. However, it is worth monitoring which languages are gaining popularity and always keep your finger on the pulse. Until recently, some of the highest paying languages were Java, Ruby, Python and C. Now they have been replaced by Go, Clojure, F # and Scala. Java still remains one of the highest paying languages, especially at a high skill level.
It is worth noting that new professions will appear in the IT field, for example, an interface programming specialist, an open source expert, a programmer-pedagogue, etc.
BPO / SSC (Shared Service Center)
The BPO sector is developing very dynamically and will continue to work in 2022. Demand for people with good knowledge of foreign languages, accounting and finance specialists will grow.
Earnings in the modern service sector are also attractive to people who are starting their professional careers. As the employee’s competencies grow and he climbs the career ladder, he will receive many additional services in the form of benefits, opportunities for professional development and trips abroad.
Business analytics
According to StackOverflow, data processing engineer and data science specialist are among the most profitable and desirable jobs in 2019. The demand for these specialists will grow because the potential of data for every area of business is huge. It is through the analysis of large amounts of information that we now have access to that it is possible to sell more, predict trends and even influence the choices and decisions of Internet users.
Professions that do not exist yet
People who are just starting to learn have a right to feel insecure. Many professions that will be in demand in a few years do not yet exist. Recruiters are already facing this situation in the market.
In fact, there is recruitment for positions for which schools or courses have not yet been prepared. Most often, they are associated with the use of advanced technologies or the operation of modern machines and devices.
In which fields do you need to be aware of the latest developments in order to quickly master a modern specialty? Many new professions in the field of technology are predicted. A few years ago, no one knew what a 3D printer could do, or that a charger for electric scooters would appear, but today it turns out that it is quite possible, and to work with modern technology requires specialists.
Another niche is e-business and the world of advertising and marketing. After all, even being an Uber driver is a job born out of the growing popularity of the sharing economy.
Finally, it’s worth mentioning the entertainment industry – especially one that targets middle-aged and older people. We are becoming an increasingly old and bored society, and this increases the demand for alternative ways of passing the time (for example, creating virtual reality).
Professions that do not exist yet:
- Productivity consultant;
- Personal digital curator;
- Microflora specialist;
- VR Architect;
- Educator of curiosity;
- Molecular nutritionist;
- Medical robotics engineer;
- Digital posthumous manager;

- A specialist in the treatment of digital addiction.
