Shaping Skills

Advances in fields such as artificial intelligence, automation, and digitalization are fundamentally reshaping business operations, job functions, and the skills required in the labor market. This technological evolution underscores the critical importance of investing in reskilling and upskilling initiatives that enable workers to adapt and thrive in changing environments. At the same time, universities and educational institutions face the challenge of designing curricula that equip students with the relevant competencies to their professional fields. Without these efforts, talent gaps may emerge, limiting the capacity for innovation and growth across organizations and industries.

Integrated transportation infrastructure: air, maritime, and land.

The reports generated by the project Shaping Skills serve as a comprehensive analytical tool, offering an in-depth snapshot of workforce competencies within diverse sectors. Central to the report is the creation and refinement of an adaptive taxonomy of Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA), designed to map and organize the competencies required to meet evolving industry demands. Drawing from data collected from job postings for each occupation and related roles in a specific sector, the report analyzes the distribution of competencies through graphical methods, identifying trends, patterns, and key categories.

Structured to lead readers toward a clear grasp of emerging workforce priorities, the reports also offer a deeper examination of the occupational landscape. They uncover valuable insights into the workforce’s specialized needs, highlighting how employment patterns and job roles are evolving in response to technological shifts and changing market dynamics. By mapping these trends, the reports empower stakeholders with actionable knowledge to proactively address future workforce challenges and opportunities.

Finally, through its focused examination of knowledge, skills, and abilities, these reports provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future trajectory of the workforce in the analyzed sector. It provides a foundation for deeper investigation into how technological change is redefining work, outlining strategies to build a resilient and competitive workforce while bridging sectors and guiding the future of education and employment.

Shaping Skills

La evolución tecnológica, especialmente en áreas como la inteligencia artificial, la automatización y la digitalización de procesos, está transformando las funciones laborales, los perfiles profesionales y las habilidades requeridas en el mercado laboral. Este panorama genera una necesidad urgente de impulsar iniciativas de actualización y fortalecimiento de competencias que permitan a la fuerza laboral mantenerse competitiva y adaptarse a las nuevas demandas. Al mismo tiempo, las universidades e instituciones educativas enfrentan el reto de diseñar currículos que preparen a los estudiantes con las competencias necesarias para su campo profesional, ya que la ausencia de estas acciones podría traducirse en brechas de talento que restrinjan la capacidad de innovación y crecimiento de las organizaciones e industrias.
