New tech advancements can leave you with a lot of questions. Are your current
skills still relevant? What new skills do you need to learn? How can you meet
your career goals in the ever-changing technology landscape?

You might not know the answers, but there is a way to set yourself up for
success in the face of AI and other emerging technologies. From technical skills
to professional skills and soft skills, we cover the essentials you need to
adapt to new tech faster and solidify your career—no matter what the future
holds.

ESSENTIAL TECHNICAL SKILLS TO LEARN

AI isn’t the first tech innovation, and it won’t be the last. Building
foundational skills and knowledge of underlying technologies will help you adapt
to any tech environment.

Here are some essential technology skills to learn:


CLOUD COMPUTING CONCEPTS, SERVICES, AND ARCHITECTURES

Cloud technology powers most systems and IT operations. Understanding cloud
fundamentals and gaining cloud skills across AWS, Azure, and GCP will give you a
solid foundation to build from regardless of your specific role. 

“Familiarity with cloud computing concepts, services, and architectures is
increasingly essential,” says Drew Firment, Pluralsight’s Chief Cloud
Strategist.

Already confident in your cloud skills? Explore cloud security and frugal cloud
architecture to fill industry-wide skills gaps.


DATA SCIENCE AND DATA ANALYTICS

As AI/ML grows, essential data skills will become even more important. 

“The fuel for AI/ML is data. Data science and data analysis skills will be
crucial, including the understanding of cleaning and transforming data before
providing it to AI/ML models,” explains Faye Ellis, Principal Training Architect
at Pluralsight.

Even if you’re not a data scientist, it’s crucial to understand the big picture
and identify when data may be flawed, incomplete, or inaccurate.


PROFICIENCY IN AT LEAST ONE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

Coding is key for software development, cloud computing, and automation. Python,
Java, and JavaScript are widely used languages, but it’s important to think
about what you’ll use a programming language for, not just the language itself.

“For me, it's much less about the language, and more about your ability to
recognize what options are available to you in the platform and language you're
already comfortable with,” says Simon Allardice, Creative Director and Principal
Author at Pluralsight.


CYBERSECURITY, DEVOPS, AND DEVSECOPS BEST PRACTICES

Emerging technologies inevitably create new security threats and disrupt
existing processes. Consider how AI has already augmented social engineering and
enabled more sophisticated cyber attacks.

To adapt to and defend against new technologies with minimal lag, understand
effective security measures and get familiar with DevOps and DevSecOps best
practices to identify ways to use new advancements to streamline operations.

Get hands-on experience with cybersecurity foundations.


ESSENTIAL PROFESSIONAL SKILLS AND SOFT SKILLS FOR TECHNOLOGISTS

As important as technical skills are, soft skills are just as important—perhaps
even more so. Develop these essential soft skills to level up your tech career. 

 * Agility

 * Communication

 * Problem solving

 * Creativity

 * Critical thinking and observation

 * Empathy

 * Time management

Some professional skills combine technology skills and soft skills.

 * Explore prompt engineering and how you can use it in your role, whether
   you’re an IT administrator, data scientist, business professional, marketer,
   or creative

 * Learn technical writing to aid prompt engineering and communicate complex
   technical information to audiences with different skill levels

 * Understand the ethical considerations of emerging technologies to use and
   build tech responsibly

Build the soft skills you need in today’s workplace.


TECHNICAL SKILL CERTIFICATIONS TO EARN WHEN UPSKILLING

Certifications can add a boost to your resume and showcase your technical
expertise, even if you lack a traditional university degree. Some certifications
that continue to be in high demand include:

 * AWS Solutions Architect Associate

 * AWS Developer Associate

 * AWS Security Specialty

 * AWS Data Engineer Associate

 * AWS Machine Learning Specialty

 * Azure AI Engineer Associate

AWS also launched the new AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate certification.
This new certification highlights the data skills gap and the need for quality
data engineers who can analyze and manipulate data, work with AI models, and
drive business outcomes.

“When Microsoft makes OpenAI certs, those should be pretty popular. Information
Security is always a winner,” adds Tim Warner, Principal Author for IT Ops at
Pluralsight.

But certifications aren’t the only way to show off your skills—completing
portfolio projects and gaining hands-on experience at bootcamps and hackathons
are also valuable ways to demonstrate your knowledge.


CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT: THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL FOR A TECH CAREER

No matter your area of expertise, learning is the most important skill to
develop. If you aren’t keeping up with the latest tech trends, deepening your
current skills, or exploring new technologies, you’re already falling behind.

As Amber Israelsen, Pluralsight Author, succinctly says, “Learn how to learn. Be
willing to let go of old ways of doing things. Find your favorite sources for
the latest tech news, and visit often to stay current.”
