The most coveted tech skills today may not be relevant five years from now, says a skill report released by Edureka, a global e-learning platform. While the importance of re-skilling has been stressed enough, skilling with the right technologies and with more than one technology, is as important as re-skilling itself, according to the report. More importantly, the report states that continuous re-skilling is not an option anymore, but a necessity in today’s volatile job market and IT professionals need to invest in learning new skills 15-20 times to achieve career growth. These are the key findings of ‘The fastest growing tech skills 2018’, a report released today by Edureka.

KEY REPORT FINDINGS: 

Professionals with 10-15 years of experience are driving demand for online courses in trending technologies.

New-age technologies like AI, IoT, RPA, Blockchain are being adopted across industries and new job roles that didn’t exist a year ago are being introduced today.

40 and outdated is a real worry driving mid managers and senior professionals to up-skill.
