The specialist called for developing complex cognitive abilities in work

In addition, he recalled that researchers note the importance of developing soft interpersonal skills, which are already indicated in the requirements for technical specialists.

“These include leadership skills, team management and interaction, the ability to listen and build effective communications, cultural and emotional intelligence,” the expert said.

In addition, he noted the importance of improving the level of basic digital skills, regardless of the field of activity.

“These include knowledge of devices and software, experience with basic Microsoft Office programs (Excel, PowerPoint), the ability to use various emails and instant messengers,” said the general director of the Lerna.ru platform.

Also, according to him, professional digital competencies are important - specific in-depth knowledge of digital tools used in individual professions.

“So, for example, for specialists working in the IT field, this is knowledge of programming languages, for web designers - knowledge of programs from Figma to Blender 3D, for digital marketers - knowledge of various analytics tools from Google Analytics to Yandex.Metrics, SEO optimization, marketing automation and neural networks,” the RT interlocutor emphasized.

Data visualization skills are another trend whose need is increasing, the analyst explained. We are talking about experience working with tools such as MS Power BI, Tableau, Metabase or the Russian analogue of Visiology, he added.

According to him, this has become most relevant recently, including for financial analysts, compensation and benefits managers and recruiters.

“Skills in working with social networks, first of all, of course, are necessary for everyone who is in one way or another involved in the field of marketing, and also, as analysts emphasize, for HR managers and representatives of the service industry. The ability to use them is, in principle, a necessity in today’s media climate, but for individual specialists this is a job,” the specialist shared.

Earlier, the head of the department of adolescent development programs at Maximum Education, Natalya Evseeva, and the head of methodology and development of educational programs, Artyom Mushta, spoke in a conversation with RT about which professions can be called promising, as well as what skills schoolchildren need to develop now.
