If you change your profession, then to a promising one: one that will be relevant both today and in 10-20 years. The IT sphere is just about this: once it has appeared, the labor market associated with development is constantly developing in positive dynamics. Today we will talk about how the labor market will change over the course of several years, which professions will die out and which ones will emerge, and where the place of development and the Java language is in this market.
Digitalization and the world of the future
The digitalization of business processes, according to various estimates, puts at risk of extinction from 9% to 50% of all existing professions in the next 10 years, according to a study by the Moscow Innovation Agency. However, the same report notes that new specialties are now emerging every 3-5 years. This requires the training system to be able to quickly adapt to market demands. According to the report "The Future of Labor" , released as part of the World Economic Forum in Davos, the future robot revolution will create 97 million new jobs. By 2025, employers are expected to split work equally between people and machines. Demand for positions that utilize human skills will increase. The machines will be primarily focused on information and data processing, administrative tasks and routine manual work for white and blue collar workers. By 2025, specialists in artificial intelligence, machine learning and Big Data will be popular in the Russian Federation, Belarus and Ukraine, and accountants, secretaries and lawyers will increasingly be recognized as redundant personnel. As the report notes, analytical thinking, creativity and flexibility will be among the main skills needed. The new professions will mainly be related to data and artificial intelligence, content creation and cloud computing. The pandemic has seen a fourfold increase in the number of people seeking self-initiated online learning opportunities over the past year, a fivefold increase in the number of employers offering online learning opportunities to their employees, and a ninefold increase in the number of people accessing online learning through government programs.
What will happen to the IT sector?
Information technology is one of the fastest growing areas of the economy. As stated in the Russian project “Atlas of New Professions” , several important processes are currently taking place in this industry: the volume of data passing through the network is increasing and solutions for processing it are developing, and digital solutions are becoming more and more mobile and “user friendly”. This means that if now almost every family has a laptop, and every second inhabitant of the planet uses a smartphone, then in ten years any city dweller will have at least 5-6 devices connected to each other. Accordingly, as the volume of information grows, the need for new security systems, methods of filtering and protecting data will grow.
What IT professions will appear in the future?
It must be said that in this section we will list professions that will not only appear, but have already appeared, but will become more and more popular in the coming years. In addition, we selected professions that could potentially use Java. So read and take a closer look - perhaps your future profession will be on this list.
Neurointerface designer
A specialist involved in the development of interfaces compatible with the human nervous system for controlling computers, home and industrial robots, taking into account the psychology and physiology of users. Now neural interfaces are used mainly for entertainment, but in the future, with the help of neural interfaces it will be possible to control various complex devices or even communicate without words with other people.
IT evangelist
A profession at the intersection of creativity and technology. An IT evangelist is a specialist in communicating with end users of IT products and promoting new solutions to groups that are conservative towards advanced technologies. It teaches people how to use new programs and services to reduce the digital divide among the population.
IT auditor
Professional with specialization in software development. Auditors of complex IT systems that process data and make decisions based on it, errors or hacking of which potentially carry high risks. Audit of software security of these systems, including the process of its development and qualifications of developers.
Big Data Model Developer
A specialist who designs systems for collecting and processing large amounts of data received via the Internet, develops assembly interfaces and the analytical models themselves. In Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, vacancies in this specialty are already opening, although the demand is not very high yet.
Augmented Reality Travel Builder
The development of augmented reality will allow the population of the future to enjoy more entertainment. The Augmented Reality Trip Maker will take customers on a journey. This work will require writing, designing and creating augmented reality and, most importantly, personalizing stories for the next generation.
Internet of Things Expert
The Internet of Things has been actively developing recently. It is most commonly used to monitor energy and material usage using smart technology, security management and business process automation.
Data Detective
We currently leave huge amounts of data online, and in the near future, companies will need detectives to analyze it all and make recommendations based on their findings. Data detectives will be required to identify and examine data sets from multiple sources, discover new data sources, mix, compare and analyze data sets from multiple sources, and write reports and present their findings to the company.
Cyber disaster predictor
In today's world, it is becoming increasingly important to understand and predict the cyber environment of the future. Governments, industries, societies and individuals will need to protect themselves and become more resilient. A cyber security forecaster will need to monitor, detect and predict cyber threats, and predict their consequences. These people will also need to map cyber uncertainties and make predictions to prepare for them.
Music neural network developer
The development of musical neural networks promises to transfer a whole range of technical tasks to the computer: music processing, arrangement, mastering and stylization. The basic tasks of musical neural network developers are closer to the tasks of colleagues from the IT field than to the tasks of musicians. The developer needs to teach the machine basic musical skills, and not become a virtuoso himself. Therefore, a career as a developer of musical neural networks will require, first of all, a high-quality IT education. Concluding this text, we invite readers to talk about what kind of work they see themselves in in 10 years and what, in their opinion, will happen to the development sector in the coming years. We are waiting for your comments ;)
