1. Digital Marketing
Voted by 50% of employers, digital marketing is the top digital skill in 2021. When the pandemic struck, everyone had to move online, be it for work or even leisure. We found ourselves looking at our mobile devices and laptops for hours every day, as we coped with living in a Covid-19 world.
Fortunately for businesses, it was an opportunity to digitalise their efforts, especially in the area of marketing. Digital marketing has grown in importance the past year, as companies try to grab customers’ attention online, from social media advertisements to producing attractive content for their products and services.

2. Data Analysis
In the past year, data analysis has risen as the second most coveted digital skill by employers. Low-cost and effective for many businesses, this skill has gained even more traction when companies are faced with major economic shifts affecting their operations.
As businesses become prudent with their resources, they begin to collect data to understand their customers’ needs and evaluate the success of previous projects. Data analysis also promotes further cost-saving through automation in the workplace, using platforms such as Python and Tableau. With data analysis, companies can better map out their business goals and strategies for the best outcomes.

3. Project Management Skills
Many businesses have faced disruptions during the lockdown, where projects were halted indefinitely or stopped entirely. Workplaces continue to see major shifts in leadership roles and more responsibilities are placed on others to complete ongoing projects.
Project management skills sees more demand as workers are needed to lead and take over new and ongoing projects effectively. As businesses continue to adapt to new ways of working remotely, project management skills have also evolved and it is increasingly crucial to manage projects and tasks online.
To begin your upskilling journey, here are some courses to pick up:
4. Basic IT Support
As workplaces continue to digitalise and automate, many employees still lack basic knowledge in technology and the internet. Businesses are also increasingly at risk of being exposed to technological dangers, such as data breaches and cyber hacking. Although most workplaces are equipped with an IT team, knowing the basics of IT can help employees work more efficiently and safely. Basic IT support is more than just software errors and failed login attempts. It can be as simple as discovering new tips and tricks on Microsoft Office applications, or as complex as managing access on Microsoft Teams or Skype. Knowing a thing or two can improve your productivity tremendously, and you may even find yourself helping other colleagues with their IT troubles.
Whether you have a background in the IT field or not, there is always a skill for you to improve on. Here are some of our recommended courses:
5. Data-Driven Decision Making Skills
As data analysis sees a rise amidst the pandemic, being equipped with data-driven decision making skills are as important as knowing how to extract data. Even if businesses have an extensive range of data collected, decisions made from the data insights are what will affect the company tremendously.
While this skill may seem similar to data analytics, data-driven decision making focuses on being detail-oriented and translating data into actionable steps for the company to move forward with. This skill also encourages employees to be more experimental with their work in order to find out what works best for the business to strive.
