To properly prioritize sought-after competencies and prepare your workforce for the coming challenges and opportunities, a data-driven approach is needed.  

According to the third annual Coursera’s Job Skills Report, which stands as a valuable reference for developing innovative skill strategies, there are 8 key fastest-growing skills for 2024: 

• Leading Teams with Empathy  
• AI-Related Skills for Increased Productivity  
• Cybersecurity and Information Security  
• Business Skills & Digital Marketing as Core 
• Data Visualization for Faster Decision-Making  
• Cloud Computing  
• Audit and Compliance Skills  
• Customer Retention 

Top Job Skills Driving Innovation in 2024: Overview 

Here’s a quick summary of the fastest-growing job skills in business, technology, AI, data science, and cybersecurity for 2024: 

Fastest-Growing AI Skills  

Estimates at Bloomberg Intelligence show the market for AI solutions is set to grow to $1.3 trillion over the next decade, while job listing site Upwork reported a 1000% increase in the number of generative AI job posts made in the first half of 2023.  

Not surprised? So are we. Explore below the fastest-growing AI skills enabling learners to build ML models, facilitate automation, and more.  

Cloud Computing  

Gartner expects the global cloud computing market to have skyrocketed from $490.3 billion in 2022 to $591.8 billion in 2023.  

It presents an exciting opportunity for businesses and job seekers, with cloud computing jobs being some of the most in-demand roles in the tech industry.  

Cybersecurity  

With the critical need to protect against growing numbers of cyberattacks worldwide and the increasing capabilities of AI creating new security considerations, investment in cybersecurity skills will benefit employees and institutions alike in the year ahead.  

There’s an estimated shortfall of more than 3.4 million cybersecurity workers. That figure is likely to climb, with employment of information security analysts expected to grow 32% from 2022 to 2032 in the United States alone. 

Audit and Compliance Challenged by AI Regulations 

Only 37% of HR leaders, in-house counsel, and executives guide employees in using AI tools.   

Meanwhile, data privacy and security rank as the top concerns of Chief Intelligence Officers regarding AI.  

With generative AI transforming productivity, it will be crucial to develop the capability of employees to review and evaluate an organization’s compliance.  

Customer Success 

Customer success and relationship management skills are among the top ten fastest-growing business skills.   

According to McKinsey, unlocking new revenues from existing customers accounts for 80% of value creation in leading growth companies.  

So, there is a burning need for businesses to navigate customer retention and expand the value delivered to both current and potential customers. 

Leadership   

“Manager effectiveness” is ranked as the top priority for HR leaders—and employees are facing change fatigue, with willingness to support organizational change collapsing from 74% in 2016 to 43% in 2022.  

To effect change, the leaders of tomorrow will need to be agile, compassionate, and able to keep individuals and businesses aligned.  

Data-Literacy as a Baseline Expectation for Employers  

Today, only 11% of employees are confident in their ability to read, analyze, work with, and communicate with data—showcasing the vast need for upskilling and learning.  

Institutional leaders recognize the need to respond, with 85% of C-suite executives believing that being data-literate will be as vital in the future as the ability to use a computer is today.  

So, data visualization with the help of business intelligence software also joined the top of the fastest-growing skills.  

Digital Marketing   

The rapid growth of the global advertising and marketing industry, which is expected to rise to $1.5 trillion in 2030, illustrates the spurred demand for digital marketing skills. In the US alone, employment in digital marketing-related professions is projected to grow rapidly up to 2032.  

Meanwhile, shifting consumer behaviors—powering trends like increased social selling—with 76% of people making buying decisions on social media—call for upgraded skills from digital marketers.  

To adapt to a new paradigm, organizations should invest now in equipping learners with the skill sets to deliver modern marketing strategies.
