The Job Skills of 2023
Coursera's 2023 Job Skills report identifies the fastest-growing digital and human skills based on trends from 4 million learners globally. As economic challenges persist, digital skills like data visualization, agile development, and customer success tools are critical to meet evolving job demands, while human skills—storytelling, change management, and communication—remain essential for adaptability. With digital skills shifting more rapidly than human skills, institutions must prioritize training that combines technical and interpersonal competencies. This report underscores the need for skills-based learning, leveraging micro-credentials to enhance employability in a competitive market.
