The list of skills has been created using data drawn from Coursera’s 92 million learners, 2,000 business customers, 3,000 higher education institutions, and 230 government entities.
Coursera also outlined a separate set of 10 ‘human’ or ‘soft’ skills which are seen as necessary for organisational success. They include a range of cognitive, social, and emotional skills, such as creativity, critical thinking, information interpretation, decision-making, and communication. “Yet research suggests that new roles will, in fact, outpace those lost to automation, with the global workforce being offered 149 million2 new technology-oriented jobs by 2025.”
