It\u2019s no secret that the \u201cAge of Automation\u201d is not just on its way; it\u2019s here.\u00a0The World Economic Forum<\/a>\u00a0recently estimated that 1.4 million people will lose their jobs by 2026 as a result of technological change, with more than 70% of those job losses happening because the job type will cease to exist. Rural regions are also expected to be disproportionately affected, according to a new\u00a0McKinsey Global Institute<\/a>\u00a0report.<\/p>\n

At edX, our own\u00a0research<\/a>\u00a0found that the most notable skills gap is in the data sciences. In our survey,\u00a039%<\/a>\u00a0of respondents reported feeling less than proficient in data skills with an emphasis on analytics and computer science, and a quarter (24%<\/a>) reported that they have had to ask an outside resource how to work with a technology that their company uses. The second skillset with the largest gap is business skills and soft skills, including project management and leadership, with over a third of respondents feeling that they are lacking in this area.<\/p>\n

As statistics like these tell the story of the challenges facing us, executives, researchers, and politicians alike are grappling with the question of not only how to prepare the future labor force for this disruption, but also who should own the solution. Will it take a federal mandate to institute reskilling initiatives in fields like data science and AI in order to see a real impact? Will it mean individuals seeking training opportunities on their own?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
