In this episode of the SmartKeys podcast, we look a decade ahead to understand how the very nature of "having a job" is changing.
Based on the report "Future Work Trends: Predictions for 2030" by Felix Römer, we discuss the massive disruptions caused by automation, the gig economy, and demographic shifts. We explore the startling prediction that 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 haven't even been invented yet—and what that means for your career planning today.
In this episode, you will learn:
The Skill Gap: Why nearly 50% of the current workforce will need significant reskilling by 2025 to remain employable alongside advanced AI.
The Gig Economy 2.0: How freelance and contract work is evolving from a "side hustle" into a primary career path for millions, requiring a new mindset of self-management.
Remote Work Permanence: Why the "hybrid" model is here to stay, and how digital nomadism is reshaping local economies and office culture.
Human-Centric Roles: As robots take over routine tasks, why jobs requiring empathy, creativity, and complex problem-solving will see the highest demand.
Lifelong Learning: The shift from a "one-and-done" education model to continuous, agile learning as the only way to survive in a rapidly changing market.
Stop planning for the past. Tune in to learn how to build adaptability and resilience for the unpredictable job market of 2030.
